Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

1. 16 oz Cold Heavy Cream
2. 2 Tb Powdered Sugar
3. 1½ Cups Milk Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Mousse

1. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave while stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
2. Once the chocolate is melted, set aside to cool slightly.
3. Next, whip the heavy cream in your stand mixer using the whisk attachment. Whip until it thickens and peaks appear.
4. Add the powdered sugar and melted chocolate (as quickly as possible!). Whip for another 30 seconds or until the mousse is thick and fully blended.
5. Transfer to serving dishes, top with whipped cream and chocolate garnish. Serve.
6. Chocolate Mousse can also be refrigerated and served later.

Chocolate Garnish

1. Melt 2 Tb chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
2. Cover flat plate or cutting board with wax paper.
3. Drizzle melted chocolate onto wax paper into desired shape.
4. Transfer to refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate hardens. (only takes 2-3 minutes)
5. Gently peel firm chocolate off the wax paper.
6. Serve as a garnish on top of the chocolate mousse.

Notes

1. If you don't own a stand mixer, a hand mixer can be used. Or a plain whisk and some muscle. It just will not be as EASY.
2. This recipe yields 3+ cups of chocolate mousse. It is very rich, so a little bit goes a long way!
