Description
Velvety chocolate mousse with pops of bright raspberry and a shatteringly crisp edge, perfect for impressing guests without the stress.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tbsp gelatin (optional, for firmness)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Chop or measure chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl. Heat 1/4 cup of the cream until just steaming and pour over chocolate. Let sit 45 seconds, then stir until glossy and smooth.
- If using gelatin: bloom 1 tbsp in 2 tbsp cold water for 5 minutes, then warm gently until dissolved and whisk into the melted chocolate.
- Whip remaining cream with powdered sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
- Fold one-third of whipped cream into chocolate to loosen, then gently fold in the rest until uniform and airy.
- Spoon a little mousse into cups, add a few fresh raspberries, top with more mousse. Chill at least 1 hour to set.
- Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and a raspberry on top before serving.
Notes
Chill bowls and beaters for faster, cleaner whipping on hot days. Use melted chocolate to coat cup edges for a crisp rim.
