Ingredients You Will Need
Heavy cream 1 cup
Dark chocolate 200 grams
Cocoa powder 2 tablespoons
Optional additions if desired
Honey or sugar 1 tablespoon
Vanilla essence half teaspoon
Step by Step Method
Start by choosing good quality dark chocolate. Chop the chocolate into small pieces so it melts easily. Place the chocolate in a heat safe bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat for twenty seconds at a time and stir each time. Stop heating once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly so it is warm but not hot.
Take another large bowl and pour the cold heavy cream into it. Make sure the cream is very cold for best results. Use a hand whisk or electric mixer and start whipping the cream slowly. Increase speed gently and whip until soft peaks form. Soft peaks mean the cream holds shape but still looks smooth and fluffy. Do not over whip or the cream will turn grainy.
Add cocoa powder to the whipped cream. Sift it if possible to avoid lumps. Gently fold the cocoa powder into the cream using a spatula. Use slow movements to keep the cream fluffy. Once the cocoa powder is mixed in, add the melted chocolate little by little. Fold gently after each addition. This helps keep the mousse light and airy.
Continue folding until everything is well mixed and smooth. Taste the mousse. If you want it sweeter, you can add honey or sugar at this stage and fold again gently. Add vanilla essence if using. Once the mousse looks creamy and even in color, it is ready.
Spoon the mousse into small bowls or glasses. Cover them lightly and place in the fridge for at least one hour. This helps the mousse set and become thicker. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich chocolate flavor.
