Whip-It-Up 2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

What You Need:

  • 1 ½ cups cold heavy cream (divided)
  • 1 cup good-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (about 6 ounces)
  • Garnish options: grated chocolate, chopped nuts, toffee bits, or brittle

How to Make It:

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Heat ½ cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute. Add the chocolate and stir until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully melt.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of cold cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Save ½ cup of whipped cream in the fridge for topping later.
  3. Fold it Together: Take the cooled chocolate mixture and gently fold in the whipped cream in three parts, keeping it light and fluffy.
  4. Chill & Set: Divide the mousse into 4 serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for the best texture).
  5. Top & Serve: Finish with a dollop of reserved whipped cream and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.

And just like that, you’ve made the easiest, most decadent chocolate mousse!
