Print Recipe

A quick and indulgent no-bake chocolate mousse made with just four simple ingredients, perfect for last-minute celebrations like Mother’s Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt it using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly but do not harden.
  3. Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Pour about one-third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate. Gently fold together using a rubber spatula without deflating the mixture.
  5. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  6. Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving cups or ramekins and smooth the top.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 3-4 hours, to set.
  8. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings.

Notes

Chill bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Melt chocolate gently and let it cool slightly before folding in cream to avoid runny mousse. Fold whipped cream gently to keep mousse light and airy. Chill mousse for at least 2 hours to set properly. Avoid freezing to prevent texture changes.
