3-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

Indulge in rich, velvety chocolate mousse made effortlessly with just three ingredients. No baking, no fuss—just pure, creamy decadence that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

• 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
• 300ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Step-by-Step Preparation

Melt the Chocolate
Gently melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Combine and Chill
Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining cream until fully combined and smooth. Divide into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Serve
Top with fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or a sprig of mint for an elegant finish.

Expert Tips

• Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
• Whip cream just until soft peaks to avoid grainy texture.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut cream.
