Light, creamy, and full of chocolate flavor. This 2 ingredient chocolate mousse is so easy to make and is the perfect last-minute dessert idea.
Ingredients
1cupheavy whipping cream(split)
3.5ozdark chocolate(7 squares)
Instructions
In a microwave safe bowl, heat 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream for 40 seconds. Pour over the chocolate pieces. Let sit for 2 minutes then stir until all the chocolate is melted and a smooth, shiny ganache forms. Set aside to cool.
Take the remaining 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream and whip until medium peaks form. (See note).
Gently fold half the whipped cream into the chocolate ganache mixture. When it's completely combined, add the rest of the whipped cream. Continue to gently fold in the cream until you can no longer see streaks of white.
Pour into serving dishes. Chill for 5-10 minutes or until ready to eat.
Top with extra whipped cream and enjoy!
Notes
How do you know when the whipped cream is at medium peaks? A good trick is to turn your mixing bowl on its side. If the whipped cream doesn't slide down the bowl, it is thick enough to be used in the mousse.
