INGREDIENTS

2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

250 g (1 3/7 cups) dark chocolate
200 g (7 oz) heavy cream (A) needs to be hot
250 g (1 cups) heavy cream (B) needs to be chilled

INSTRUCTIONS

2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

Break or chop the chocolate into smaller pieces and place in a microwave safe mixing jug. Melt the chocolate in the microwave using short bursts or over simmering water. Once melted, take it off the heat.
Add the hot-boiled heavy cream (A) to the melted chocolate. Mix well until you achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
If chcocolate chunks remain, microwave in 10 second bursts stirring each time.
Incorporate the remaining cold heavy cream(B) into the chocolate mixture. Stir well to create a perfect balance of temperature and texture. Blending briefly with a stick blender helps!
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the plastic wrap touches the surface of the mousse to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the mixture overnight. This time allows the flavors to meld, and the mousse to set into a velvety, truffle-like consistency.
After 8 hours or the following day, remove the bowl from the fridge and whip the mousse to stiff peaks. Be cautious not to overwhip; the goal is to maintain a light, airy, and irresistibly creamy texture.

Serving Suggestion

I like to place some brownie chunks (use egg-free brownies for eggless dessert) in mini pudding jars and pipe mousse on top using a Wilton 1M Tip. Garnish with piped chocolate decorations to serve! Be as creative as you like with your presentation.
