Easy 3 ingredient Chocolate Mousse

My easy 3 ingredient chocolate mousse is one of my favourite dessert recipes because its fool proof and can be made by absolutely anyone. Its perfect for if you’re hosting or if you just fancy a sweet treat yourself.

Tips for my easy 3 ingredient chocolate mousse!

• Do not heat the chocolate and cream mixture for more than 30 seconds at a time
• Whip your cream slowly to avoid it splitting and becoming grainy. if that happens you’ll have ot start again so be patient whilst whisking ad you’ll want to stop just before it forms soft peaks.
• Use a palette knife to smooth the top of your mousses to get a clean finish!
• Do not refrigerate for more than 35 minutes or the mousse will firm up!

Method

1. Begin by adding your dark chocolate chips and double cream to a microwaveable pyrex dish.
2. Place in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds, allow to stand for 10 seconds before removing and mixing thoroughly. Do not heat the chocolate and cream mixture for more than 30 seconds at a time!
3. Repeat twice or until the chocolate has completely combined with the cream
4. Gently whip the double cream with 1 tsp of vanilla extract until soft peaks form, be very careful to not overwhip the cream or else it will split.
5. Add the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture, optionally you can sweeten with date syrup, I used 2 tablespoons! Fold the mixture gently until combine.
6. Transfer the mousse to your glassware of choice, I used these 160ml glasses but you could just put the mousse in glass jars or bowls.
7. Refrigerate for 20 minutes and then top with grated dark chocolate!
