Chocolate Mouse doesn’t have to be a hardship to make and create loads of bowls and dishes to clean up. This very simple, easy-peazy recipe will thrill all chocolate lovers, friends and family alike. It is versatile too. You can pick up all manor of flavoured chocolate bars at the supermarket and get really creative. My favourite Chocolate Mousse is using orange flavoured chocolate and adding a glug of Grand Marnier. Or adding a teaspoon of instant coffee and a good slug of Baileys Irish cream. Mint works well too. Which ever route you choose the recipe works well. Great desserts don’t have to be time consuming and take hours to make.

Loading...Super easy 3 ingredient chocolate mousse. No fuss. Just a bit of heating, a few hours chilling and some whipping. The easiest mousse you'll ever make!
Ingredients
- 500ml whipping cream or double cream
- 250g good quality chocolate, roughly chopped (use any flavoured chocolate or chocolate buttons work really well and saves time) (Retain a little for grating as decoration)
- 2 Egg yolks
- 1 slug of liqueur (optional)
Instructions
Place the chopped chocolate into a liquidiser
Add the egg yolks and blitz to blend the eggs
Now is the stage to add any liqueur you may fancy and blitz again
Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges. (Make sure its not too hot otherwise your eggs will curdle)
With the liquidiser running slowly add the warmed cream and blend till all the chocolate has melted and combines well with the cream.
Poor into serving dishes or bowls ( I like to use cups or champagne flutes) and chill for a couple of hours or over night.
Decorate with anything you have at hand that will complement the flavour (Blueberries, strawberries or even a spring of mint)
Grate a little chocolate over the top and serve
Wine Matching
Turn your Chocolate Mousse into a celebration. Serve Prosecco. We chose a Sacchetto Col de L’Utia Prosecco Brut. Crisper and creamier than Cava, with a softer fizz than Champagne, this luxury drop has all the melt-in-the-mouth quality you’d expect from a world-famous winemaker. It’s full of fruit and delicate refreshing bubbles. Perfect for parties, weddings, or just making your Friday night fish and chip supper sing. Available from Naked Wines.
