The Ingredients

You probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry already! Here’s what you’ll need to make this simple egg-free chocolate mousse:

  • Sugar: Sweetens the mousse and balances the rich chocolate flavor.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips: These give the mousse its rich, chocolatey base. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Ground cinnamon: Adds a subtle warmth and a hint of spice for a unique flavor boost. Similar to this Skillet Mexican Brownie!
  • Heavy whipping cream: This adds a luscious, creamy texture and helps create the light, airy consistency.
  • Kosher salt: Enhances the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness.
  • Water: Helps dissolve the sugar and create a smooth chocolate base.

Tips and Tricks

  • Add a Touch of Whipped Cream to the Chocolate: Adding a tablespoon of the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture before folding it into the rest of the whipped cream lightens the chocolate mixture and makes it easier to fold in the whipped cream.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the richer the mousse. Choose a high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
  • Don’t Overmix: Gently fold the chocolate into the whipped cream to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
  • Make Ahead: This mousse can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

  1. 5 stars
    Super easy to make and delicious. It was a huge hit with my family and I will definitely make it again. And because it’s made by mixing the chocolate with the whipped cream there is no standing over the stove, stirring and praying it’s thick enough to cool into a perfect mousse texture. Great recipe!

  2. This dessert is absolutely delightful! !! Very rich and decadent. Whipping your own topping is so much better than the can! My go to dinner guests dessert.
