Ingredients
200g (7oz) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate:
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Melt it using a double boiler method (placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each round until smooth.
Allow it to cool slightly but remain liquid.
Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
Combine the Ingredients:
Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten the mixture.
Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream using a spatula until fully incorporated and smooth. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture.
Chill and Serve:
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture or serve immediately for a softer mousse.
Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.

Use quality chocolate: Since this recipe has only two ingredients, the better the chocolate, the better the mousse.
