“A rich and creamy dessert that’s as easy as it is delicious—made with just two ingredients!”
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate—your choice)
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Let the melted chocolate cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Set aside about 1/4 cup of whipped cream for garnish, if desired.
Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream. Start by adding a small amount of whipped cream to the chocolate to lighten it, then fold in the rest.
- Mix until fully combined and smooth, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
- Garnish with the reserved whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or shaved chocolate if desired.
