Ingredients You’ll Need

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate
Heavy cream

Optional: a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Chop the chocolate and melt it gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t seize when mixed with cream.

Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or it may turn grainy.

Step 3: Combine
Fold a little whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten it, then gently fold in the rest. Stir until combined, but don’t overmix.

Step 4: Chill and Serve
Spoon the mousse into glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Garnish with shaved chocolate, berries, or whipped cream before serving.
