Print Recipe

A quick and indulgent chocolate mousse made with just heavy cream and dark chocolate, delivering a rich, silky, and airy dessert in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream (at least 36% fat)
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate finely into small pieces. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir gently until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly but not harden. (5-7 minutes)
  3. Pour cold heavy cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Whip with an electric mixer or whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. (3-5 minutes)
  4. Mix about a third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to loosen it. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream using a spatula with light, sweeping motions to keep the mixture airy. (2-3 minutes)
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and develop flavor.
  6. Serve chilled, optionally topped with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.

Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Do not over-whip cream; aim for soft peaks. Fold whipped cream gently into chocolate to keep mousse airy. Chill mousse at least 1 hour before serving. Optional additions include vanilla extract, espresso powder, or liqueurs for flavor variations. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free dark chocolate.
