Quick Whipped Chocolate Chip Mousse
My quick whipped chocolate chip mousse is made with heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips. No eggs, baking, or refrigeration necessary! You can make this recipe in under 15 minutes any night of the week. I came up with this mousse on a whim when we were craving a treat but were low on ingredients. It's quickly become a new favorite in our house! I hope you love it just as much as my husband and I do!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (must be cold!) (preferably organic to keep additives out)
- 1 Tbsp pure cane sugar (or raw honey)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Melt chocolate
- Fill a pot with water 1/4 of the way full and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn heat to low-medium and set a heat-safe bowl over the top. Make sure water isn’t touching bottom of the bowl!
- Add chocolate chips and stir occasionally until fully melted (about 2-3 minutes).
- Once melted take bowl off pan with oven-mits (it will be hot!) and set aside on a wire rack or trivet to cool while you whip the cream.
Make whipped cream
- While chocolate cools, add heavy whipping cream, cane sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.
- Using a whisk attachment on a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whisk on high speed for 2-4 minutes or until stiff peaks form (when peaks of cream stick straight off wisk and don’t drop or fall downward). You can also do this with a hand held whisk it’ll just take longer.
Add together
- Pour slightly cooled chocolate mix into bowl of whipped cream. Gently fold it into the cream mixture with a rubber spatula (scrape side of bowl then fold down the center, repeat until combined). You’ll see tiny little hardened pieces of chocolate form, that’s exactly what you’re looking for!
- Scoop out into small serving bowls and enjoy or store in the fridge in an airtight container for a few days.
