12 Days of Sugar – Day 10

This Chocolate Mousse makes any dinner feel a little more fancy. It’s rich, creamy and decadent. It’s the ultimate chocolate fix. The perfect dessert for a holiday dinner party.

It’s day 10 of my 12 Days of Sugar and say hello to this chocolate mousse. This is a chocolate lover’s dream come true and will everyone wanting more.

This mousse is decadently creamy, light and billowy and indulgently chocolaty. It is definitely a staple for chocolate lovers everywhere!

I can’t think of a better way to end a holiday dinner than with a dish of this chocolate mousse. It’s the perfect finishing touch.

Simple to make.

  1. Melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stir until smooth. Whisk chocolate mixture in the egg yolks until combined and then pour back in with the remaining chocolate mixture.
  2. Beat your whipped cream and sugar until soft peaks form and then fold in the cooled chocolate mixture to the whipped cream.
  3. At this point you will still probably have bits of chocolate you can’t get mixed in, so I will use my stand mixer again with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed until mixture is smooth.
  4. Divide evenly among serving dishes and garnish with some whipped cream.

Here is what you will need for this chocolate mousse.

  • semisweet chocolate chips
  • butter
  • egg yolks
  • vanilla
  • whipping cream
  • sugar

The best dishes for chocolate mousse.

This chocolate mousse can be chilled and served in really any kind of any individual-sized dishes, cups, small mason jars, ramekins, etc.

Plan ahead so this dessert can chill.

This chocolate mousse is best if chilled at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. This makes it the perfect make-ahead dessert.

How to Serve Chocolate Mousse.

While chocolate mousse is just fine all on its own, you can fancy it up by adding a dollop of whipped cream to each dish before serving and some fresh raspberries or chocolate shaving (or both).
