Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 small tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and a pinch of sea salt into a jar or plastic container with a lid.
  2. Shake to Whip: Secure the lid tightly and shake the container vigorously for about 2 minutes. The more you shake, the thicker and creamier the mousse will become.
  3. Alternatively Whip: If you don’t have a container with a lid or are making a larger batch, pour the ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and whip them with a hand mixer for about 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the mousse immediately. For a fancy presentation, pipe the mousse into a pretty dish before serving and add your favorite garnishes if desired.

Notes

  • Using chilled heavy cream will help the mousse whip up faster and achieve better volume.
  • The pinch of sea salt is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • For a sweeter mousse, adjust the powdered sugar to your taste.
  • This mousse is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; just give it a quick stir before serving.
