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