Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 240 ml Heavy cream (divided)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Pour 120 ml of heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it's hot but not boiling.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot cream. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth. This creates a chocolate ganache. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, pour the remaining 120 ml of heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
Once the ganache has cooled to room temperature, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the airy texture.
Continue folding until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this might make the mousse dense.
Your quick chocolate mousse filling is ready to use! Spread or pipe it onto cakes, cupcakes, or inside a Swiss roll.
For best results, chill the filled cake or dessert for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the mousse to set.
