Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Heavy Whipping Cream | 1 ½ cups |
Chocolate Chips | 1 cup (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate) |
Instructions:
- Melt Chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Let cool slightly.
- Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whip cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine: Gently fold cooled chocolate into whipped cream until combined.
- Chill and Serve: Spoon mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve with toppings as desired.
Cooking Notes:
- Chocolate Options: Feel free to use your favorite type of chocolate for this mousse—dark, milk, or semi-sweet all work well. You can also experiment with white chocolate for a different flavor.
- Temperature Tip: Make sure the melted chocolate has cooled slightly before folding it into the whipped cream. If it’s too hot, it can cause the cream to deflate or melt.
- Whipping Cream Consistency: For the best results, ensure your heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping. It will whip faster and hold its shape better when chilled.
