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

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.

  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.

    1. 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.

      1. 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??
