Instructions
Make the Chocolate Ganache
- Finely chop the dark chocolate. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Gently whisk until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool completely.
Prepare the Mousse
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled chocolate ganache using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Chill and Garnish
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set.
- Garnish with dark chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or chopped nuts before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Mousse
- Use high-quality ingredients: The flavor of your mousse will depend heavily on the quality of the chocolate and cream you use.
- Chill your bowl and beaters: This helps the whipping cream whip up more easily and hold its peaks better.
- Don't overbeat the whipped cream: Overbeating can result in a grainy texture. Stop beating once stiff peaks form.
- Fold gently: Use a spatula to gently fold the ganache into the whipped cream to avoid deflating the mixture.
