Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 300 ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate by using a double boiler method or microwave it in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring each time, until smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, whisk the cream until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and gently whisk until combined.
Take approximately 1/4 of the whipped cream and fold it into the melted chocolate to lighten the consistency. Use a silicone spatula and fold gently to preserve the airiness.
Add the remaining whipped cream to the chocolate mixture in two or three additions, folding gently after each addition until fully combined. Ensure there are no streaks of cream visible.
Spoon the chocolate mousse into serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours or until set.
Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or fresh berries before serving.
