Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate mousse is so good. So good that did you know that there is even a day in April dedicated to it?? Yep, that’s right. This dessert is known as one of the best chocolate desserts ever, and once you make this recipe, you will see why! It doesn’t get much better than this. A creamy, decadent mousse that has a deep, rich chocolate flavor. It’s topped with whipped cream and a juicy raspberry. You can’t beat one of those flavors all by themselves, let alone once you combine that trio together! I’ll admit, I have no shame in saying that I wanted to scrape that mixing bowl clean and eat every last bite that I could when I made this! And the only reason that I didn’t was because my kids got to it before I could! This chocolate mousse looks so elegant in its small, beautiful glass that you MUST host a party to serve this at!

Ingredients You Need to Make Chocolate Mousse

This ingredients list is actually really simple! So impress your guests with what looks like a very complicated dessert and whip this up! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Granulated Sugar: The sugar sweetens this right up. Egg Yolks: I used large eggs and got the egg yolks ready to go before I started into making the mousse. Coffee: Don’t worry, this mousse doesn’t have a coffee flavor! The coffee brings out the chocolate flavor! Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Chop this up into fine pieces so that it mixes and melts well. Butter: I used unsalted butter for this mousse. Whipping Cream: This not only completes this mousse but it tastes so good with the chocolate! Fresh Mint, Additional Whipped Cream and Raspberries: Use these to garnish the top of the mousse.

How to Make Chocolate Mousse

This chocolate mousse isn’t hard, but it does require some patience! Plan on making this ahead of time so that it can chill in your fridge, and then you can just pull it out when you are ready to serve it!

Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure that your eggs are at room temperature when you start mixing them. Set them out on your counter about 30 minutes before you plan on starting. The reason that you want room temperature egg yolks is because then the yolks break more easily allowing them to mix more evenly with the other ingredients. Let it Chill: Don’t skip this part! In order for your mousse to set up properly you MUST chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. This is a great dessert to make the day before and put it in your fridge, ready for the next day! Gently Fold: When it’s time to add in the whipped cream, gently fold it in. You don’t want to stir it up too much and overmix the mousse.
