Servings 2
Ingredients
Chocolate Mousse
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
Chocolate Mousse
- Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add heavy cream to the pot to heat up for around 5-6 minutes.
- In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, add in chocolate chips and set aside.
- Once the cream is heated, add to the bowl of chocolate chips. Mix with a small whisk until combined. Set aside. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and mix.
Whipped Cream
- In a stand mixer, combine the whipping cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar and mix for 6-8 minutes until peaks have formed and the mixture is a whipped cream consistency. Start the stand mixer on a low speed (around 2) and then gradually go up to 6-8 speed.
- Once whipped cream has formed, save about ½ cup of whipped cream for topping.
Assembly
- Fold the whipped cream into the bowl of chocolate chips. Ensuring that the mixture is airy and fluffy. Once combined, cover with cling wrap and place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove mousse from fridge and add into short glasses. Repeat with the remaining mousse.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream followed by chocolate shavings and a pinch of sea salt. Serve and enjoy!
