Ingredients

4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: whipped cream, berries, chocolate shavings

Directions

Step 1 – Melt the chocolate Break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl with the butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Don’t rush this  chocolate burns fast.

Step 2 – Let it cool slightly Let the melted chocolate sit for about 3–5 minutes so it’s warm but not hot. (hot chocolate will ruin the texture later, patience matters here)

Step 3 – Whip the cream In a separate bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Whip it until soft peaks form  it should hold shape but still be smooth, not stiff.

Step 4 – Fold it together Add about a spoonful of whipped cream into the chocolate and mix to loosen it. Then gently fold the rest of the whipped cream into the chocolate using a spatula. Take your time and fold, don’t stir aggressively.

Step 5 – Portion and chill Spoon the mousse into two cups or glasses. Smooth the tops and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour so it sets.

Step 6 – Serve Top with whipped cream, berries, or chocolate shavings if you want to dress it up.
