Chocolate Mousse
This rich and decadent chocolate mousse is made with four simple ingredients and is a smooth and creamy dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups heavy cream divided
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or bakers chocolate
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Heat 1 cup of heavy cream with chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs and sugar with a hand-held mixer at medium speed for 3-minutes.
- While mixing on the same setting as above, slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture. Once combined, pour back into the pan used to melt the chocolate. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
- Once chilled, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the chilled chocolate into the whipped cream until thoroughly combined. The mixture should have a fluffy consistency.
- Spoon chocolate mousse into a piping bag and pipe into small dessert dishes. Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve.
