Easy Chocolate Mousse Recipe
I think it should be a requirement to indulge in a sinful Valentine’s Day Dessert. Ditch the predictable heart shaped box filled with chocolates. Replace it with this luxurious Valentine’s Day Dessert Recipe.
This Egg Free Chocolate Mousse Recipe is beyond easy! It involves melting chocolate in the microwave and turning on your stand mixer. Seriously, that is it.
I started looking around the internet for an easy chocolate mousse recipe. I soon realized that most chocolate mousse is made with eggs.
I have a sensitivity to eggs, so I started looking for easy egg-free chocolate mousse recipes. All of those recipes use unflavored gelatin. I cannot stand the taste of “unflavored” gelatin. Maybe I’m too picky!?!
That is when I decided to just experiment a little and see if I could make my own Easy Egg Free Chocolate Mousse Recipe. And well, it worked!
In fact, it more than just worked. This Chocolate Mousse is super simple and tastes amazing!
I started by melting some good quality milk chocolate chips in the microwave. I used Ghirardelli Chocolate because it is one of my favorites.
Next, I used my handy-dandy KitchenAid stand mixer with the wire whip attachment to whip the heavy cream until peaks formed. Add the slightly cooled melted chocolate, powdered sugar and whip it a little more.
Done. Say hello to your {should be illegal} AhhhMazing Chocolate Mousse!
While this Chocolate Mousse Recipe is unbelievably easy. That little chocolate heart garnish gave me some trouble. I’ve always read how simple chocolate garnishes are to make. Ummm, no. Not for me.
This is the only one that came out resembling a heart shape. The other garnish attempts looked more like miniature dog turds. That’s not romantic at all.
So if the heart garnish isn’t working for you, use chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate instead.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Baby!

I think we just made butter… Can we fix it? What did we do wrong? How kin should we whip it?
Oh No! Yes, if cream is whipped too long or fast it will become butter. Not really a fix for it, just decrease the whipping time to prevent it from happening again.
Legit speechless, this chocolate mousse recipe looks unreal!!! I am obsessed with desserts! Definitely mousse will be yummy! Thx Nicole!
Thanks 😀
Hi there!
So perfect for my kid, he love chocolates and creams but can’t take eggs!
Thank you, right now I am trying to do it with Cocoa powder. And he wants to sprinkle some dried fruit chunks.
Great work!
Yum! Fruit and Chocolate ❤︎
I have been using this idea for years as a Milk Chocolate Candy Pie! It is DELICIOUS. The original recipe calls for 6 Hershey chocolate almond bars about 50 gms each plus 1 cup of whipping cream placed in a graham cracker crust. I have mixed it up by using different bars; or making it as cupcakes (about 12) with oreos as the base. Very simple but deadly!
Haha! Sound wonderful 🙂
Nicole, the chocolate is making small clumps once it hits the whipped cream so it’s not all smooth. Is this because the chocolate is still too warm going into the whipped cream?
I think you may need to be mixing in the melted chocolate faster. Sort of like when you mix raw egg into a hot liquid, if you don’t do it fast enough the egg will scramble. If the chocolate isn’t mixed in quickly enough it will begin to firm up from the cold. That is probably what is causing the clumps. At least it is still delicious 🙂
