Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet Dream Whip dessert topping mix
- 1 cup Cold milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)
- (optional, as needed) Whipped cream (for garnish)
- (optional, as needed) Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Dream Whip dessert topping mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on high speed for about 4-6 minutes, or until it forms soft peaks. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using either a double boiler or a microwave. If microwaving, heat in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, but not to the point of hardening. Stir it occasionally to keep it smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream (and granulated sugar, if desired) until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped heavy cream until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Next, gently fold the prepared Dream Whip mixture into the chocolate-heavy cream mixture until smooth and uniform in color and texture.
Divide the mousse evenly into 4 small dessert glasses or bowls. Use a spatula or spoon to create a smooth top.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired.
