Ingredients

  • 16 oz Cold Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tb Powdered Sugar
  • Cups Milk Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Chocolate Mousse

  • Melt chocolate chips in the microwave while stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, set aside to cool slightly.
  • Next, whip the heavy cream in your stand mixer using the whisk attachment. Whip until it thickens and peaks appear.
  • Add the powdered sugar and melted chocolate (as quickly as possible!). Whip for another 30 seconds or until the mousse is thick and fully blended.
  • Transfer to serving dishes, top with whipped cream and chocolate garnish. Serve.
  • Chocolate Mousse can also be refrigerated and served later.

Chocolate Garnish

  • Melt 2 Tb chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Cover flat plate or cutting board with wax paper.
  • Drizzle melted chocolate onto wax paper into desired shape.
  • Transfer to refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate hardens. (only takes 2-3 minutes)
  • Gently peel firm chocolate off the wax paper.
  • Serve as a garnish on top of the chocolate mousse.

Notes

If you don't own a stand mixer, a hand mixer can be used. Or a plain whisk and some muscle. It just will not be as EASY.
This recipe yields 3+ cups of chocolate mousse. It is very rich, so a little bit goes a long way!
