Heavy Cream 1 cup

Take note
Handle the chocolate with care - it's too precious to waste! And be prepared to have everyone begging for seconds.

1

Melt the Chocolate

Break your chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler method. Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until it's completely melted and smooth.

2

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches stiff peaks. You can use an electric mixer or good old-fashioned elbow grease. Just be careful not to over-whip or you might end up with butter instead of cream!

3

Combine the Chocolate and Cream

Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream. Use a spatula and make smooth, sweeping motions to incorporate the two together. Be patient and take your time to maintain the airy texture of the mousse.

4

Chill and Serve

Divide the chocolate mousse into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. When you're ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries. Then grab a spoon, and prepare to be transported to chocolate heaven!
