Here’s a super simple 2-ingredient chocolate mousse recipe that’s rich, creamy, and ready in minutes:
Ingredients
- Chocolate – 100 g (3.5 oz) of good-quality dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- Whipping cream – 1 cup (240 ml), cold
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently. You can use a microwave in short bursts (15–20 seconds), stirring in between, or a double boiler. Let it cool slightly so it’s not piping hot.
- Whip the cream
- In a cold bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Don’t overwhip – it should still be smooth and fluffy.
- Fold chocolate into cream
- Pour the slightly cooled chocolate into the whipped cream. Gently fold it in using a spatula until fully combined and smooth. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
- Chill and serve
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Optionally, top with berries, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
⏱ Tip: For a lighter, airier mousse, fold the chocolate in gradually and lift from the bottom to the top instead of stirring vigorously.
If you want, I can also give you a vegan 2-ingredient version that uses avocado or coconut cream instead of dairy. Do you want me to do that?
