Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse Recipe

With only two ingredients, heavy cream, and chocolate chips, this classic chocolate mousse is a super simple and delicious dessert recipe!

For years, I believed that chocolate mousse was a dessert that was far too complicated for me to make. In addition, the mousse recipes I did find included raw eggs, which made me nervous to consume.

Fortunately, I have finally found an ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS chocolate mousse recipe that is not only easy to make, but has a total of two ingredients. Yes, only two ingredients!

With only two ingredients, heavy cream, and chocolate chips, this classic chocolate mousse is a super simple and delicious dessert recipe!

You will be surprised by the amazing chocolate flavor this mousse has! It makes for a lovely after-dinner dessert or even paired with red wine for a fancy at-home experience.

Shall we get to the recipe?

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

• microwave-safe bowl
• measuring cup
• hand-held mixer or stand mixer
• small bowl
• large rubber spatula
• ramekins or cocktail glasses

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold and divided
• 1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet/bittersweet chocolate, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate (high-quality chocolate isn’t necessary)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1/2 cup of the heavy cream for 50 seconds (depending on microwave strength).
2. Add the chocolate chips to the cream and stir until the chocolate has melted. This will take 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. Pour the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream into a medium bowl. Using a hand-held or stand mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Continue whipping the cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Slowly fold in half the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture with a large spatula. Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream.
5. Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins or cocktail glasses (I used lowball glasses). Refrigerate for at least one hour, (up to overnight), before serving.
