Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 30-45 seconds.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is evenly combined but being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and serve immediately. Optional: top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings for added flair.
