How much fun it is to make chocolate mousse for, well, any occasion.
This four-ingredient recipe involves beating heavy cream and sugar with an electric mixer, stirring your favorite dark or milk chocolate and hot cream, and then folding the two mixes together.
Ingredients
for 2 servings
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons sugar
2 oz chocolate, milk or dark, broken into small pieces
¼ cup heavy cream, hot
6 strawberries or raspberries, to garnish
Whipped cream is a great topping
Tube cookies to garnish works well as well
A few mint leaves to finish your masterpiece
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream and the sugar, beating with an electric mixer until soft peaks form when lifted from the bowl.
Set aside two large spoonfuls of the whipped cream to garnish with at the end.
Whisk the chocolate and hot cream in a separate bowl until smooth, then fold in the mixture into the cream with a spatula until no streaks remain.
Split the chocolate cream mixture evenly between two dessert glasses, then chill for at least 1 hour.
Garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream, the tube cookies, strawberries or raspberries and mint.
