Basic Chocolate Mousse

Basic Chocolate Mousse


Basic Chocolate Mousse

This Basic Chocolate Mousse is a light, creamy, and indulgent dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s rich in flavor but still airy and smooth, thanks to whipped cream and melted chocolate. Simple to make, yet impressive to serve!

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 8 oz (225g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp (30g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly at room temperature.

  2. Whip the Cream:

    • In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together until soft peaks form. You can use an electric mixer or a hand whisk for this. Be careful not to over-whip.

  3. Combine the Chocolate and Cream:

    • Once the melted chocolate has cooled slightly, add the vanilla extract and salt, then stir until combined.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate in batches. Start with about a third of the whipped cream to lighten the chocolate, then fold in the rest until smooth and well incorporated.

  4. Chill the Mousse:

    • Spoon the mousse into serving dishes (ramekins, glasses, or bowls). Smooth the tops with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until set.

  5. Serve:

    • Before serving, you can optionally top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, fresh berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Tips and Variations:

  • Flavor Enhancements: Add a splash of liqueur (such as Grand Marnier, Kahlúa, or Chambord) to the melted chocolate for a more complex flavor.
  • Dairy-Free Option: You can use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free mousse.
  • Textural Additions: Fold in some finely chopped nuts, such as hazelnuts or almonds, for a little crunch, or top with them for garnish.
