This delightful chocolate mousse is ultra-smooth, rich, made with minimal ingredients, and perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings. Enjoy it as a fancy dessert or a sweet treat to share with your loved ones.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream with the semi-sweet chocolate chips over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
3
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream and granulated sugar together until stiff peaks form.
4
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled a bit, gently fold it into the whipped cream mixture until fully incorporated and the mousse is smooth and fluffy.
5
Spoon the chocolate mousse into a piping bag and pipe it into individual dessert dishes or cups. Alternatively, spoon the mousse directly into the dishes if a piping bag isn't available.
6
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the mousse to set and enhances the flavor.
7
Once chilled, garnish with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries, if desired. Serve and enjoy.
