Fluffy and creamy my easy Homemade Chocolate Mousse with Cocoa Powder and Whipping Cream is simple to make and delicious! It’s delicate, rich, and luscious.

When you want a cool refreshing dessert, this is the dessert for you.

 Chocolate Mousse

A mousse can be sweet or savory. It is a soft food that incorporates air into the mixture so that the texture if light and cream. Mousse can range from light and fluffy to thick and creamy.

In this recipe simply add more whipped cream to make it airier and light.

 

 Chocolate Mousse

If you don’t want to heat the house up by cooking a dessert in the oven, this recipe cooks in 5 to 7 minutes on the stovetop.

Furthermore, mousse is great for entertaining. It can be made a day ahead of time. It makes a beautiful and individual serving. And my version is economical since it uses cocoa instead of more expensive real chocolate.

Homemade Chocolate Mousse with Cocoa Powder and Whipping Cream

  1. It’s smooth, light, and creamy.
  2. This mouse is lightly chocolate flavored. If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, you may choose to add more cocoa powder. A well, you can add less whipped cream for richer chocolate.
  3. I drizzled over store-bought chocolate syrup and more whipped cream. Additionally, you may want to add toasted nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, chocolate-coated candies, or sprinkles to your mousse.
  4. To serve, try a pretty clear glass, martini glass, or small canning jar. Top with your favorite candies and serve.

      If you only want to make 2 or 4 servings of course the ingredients will be in small fractions. I recommend making it as written. It is written in US measurements.

        How do you halve the recipe? Pls. You cannot keep these for ever in the fridge and it is way better to make them again. It says – 8 + so why is that noted on top of the recipe??

          Adjust the servings size to however many you want to make and it’ll change the amounts.

    Should I keep in the pan until I pipe it in desert dishes?

    Had egg yolks leftover from another recipe. Used to make chocolate cream pie. Perfect way to use up yolks. Much better than scrambled eggs.

    I made this, first time ever making mousse, packet crap nonwithstanding. Much more labour intensive than expected, but still delicious and rewarding.

    I like your recipe but I’m confused why do you need flour?

      I based this recipe off of my Granny’s old-fashioned chocolate pie> https://www.callmepmc.com/mamas-famous-from-scratch-chocolate-pudding-pie/

      Flour is a thickener.

      I substituted 2 tablespoons of corn starch for the flour. Worked just as well.

    Can this be used as a filling between cake layers?

      It could be used on the outside or top, but I think it’s not thick enough to stay between layers without squishing out.

    Oohh, that looks fantastic!
    Can you please tell me how long it would last in the refrigerator? (If nobody eats it first of course) I am wondering how long ahead I can make it. Thank you so much.

      It’s good 2 to 3 days in the fridge.
