Steps

Melt Chocolate

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it over a double boiler or in a microwave on low power, stirring frequently, until smooth. Let it cool slightly, but keep it liquid.

Whip Cream

In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or it will turn into butter.

Combine & Chill

Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix! Spoon the mousse into 4 glasses and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until set.

Serve

Before serving, dust with a little cocoa powder. You can also garnish with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries.

Extra Tips

► For the best results, ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping.

► For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a pinch of instant coffee to the melted chocolate.

► Garnish with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries for a refreshing contrast.
