I couldn’t even rely what number of occasions I’ve made this scrumptious Fast & Straightforward Chocolate Mousse. It’s one of many first desserts I realized how one can make! You received’t imagine how divine this straightforward recipe is. Photographs don’t even do the feel justice. It’s good!
That is chocolate mousse for lazy individuals like me who don’t wish to mood egg yolks. Really, dessert doesn’t get a lot simpler than this! All you need to do is soften chocolate chips with a little bit of cream, then whip some cream, and fold it collectively.
In the event you hear “fold” and instantly consider Schitt’s Creek, similar! Folding cheese right into a sauce makes actually no sense culinary-wise however continues to be a hilarious scene. Right here, nonetheless, folding is completely needed. In the event you had been to make use of a hand mixer as an example, the mousse can be ruined. The purpose of folding is to slowly combine two issues collectively with out dropping any air. In the event you used a mixer, your whipped cream might fall or on the very least, your mousse received’t have the silky easy texture you’ll obtain by folding in. So simply fold it in, David!
The vanilla is sort of optionally available, however good. One other enjoyable trick: you possibly can add a tablespoon of rum, amaretto, kirsch, Kahlua, or bourbon to the melted chocolate if you’re so inclined!
And for heaven’s sake, serve this with raspberries. It’s a sin to not have contemporary raspberries with chocolate mousse!
