1. In a small heatproof bowl, combine 6 ounces of dark or milk chocolate, 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of instant coffee. Place the bowl in a saucepan of barely boiling water. Stir until the chocolate and butter are melted. Remove from heat, but leave the pot of boiling water on the burner.

3. Add the chocolate mixture to the egg yolk mixture, stir until combined. (The mixture with thicken.) Set aside until it cools down to room temperature.
4. Pour 1 cup cold heavy cream into a large chilled mixing bowl and beat on high speed for 1.5-2 minutes or until medium peaks.
5. Stir the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Using a silicone spatula, carefully add the remaining whipped cream until smooth.
6. Divide mousse between 4 (6oz) ramekins, cover and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

[@midgette_201]

Hi! Amazing chocolate mouss and looks very delicious! Will this mousse be structured enough to sit in between 4-6 1/2 inch layers of cake? I have been struggling to find a chocolate mousse recipe that isn't too runny!

[@ChampionofNamira]

One thing I've noticed about different simple mousse recipes is that I have to whip the heavy cream WELL more than 2 minutes to get that fluffy thickness. I had the mixer on the highest setting and was standing there for about 6 - 10 minutes getting it right. I have to wait for the chocolate and yoke mix to cool well more than 10 minutes. I had my chocolate mix sitting in the fridge for 15 minutes then had it sitting in front of a fan for a few minutes and it was still warm. I've heard an important thing about making mousse is that everything needs to be cold. Anyway, it turned out pretty good in the end. I left it in the fridge way more than an hour to get that "holey" aerated texture. Either way, it's going to be very good in the cake I'm going to bake for my birthday. Thank you for the recipe and video.

[@maggieechols1661]

I know I'm very late, but happy birth day!! :) Me and my friend and making mousse and I thank you for your advice!

[@flowerchild777]

Also, someone has reminded me, this particular recipe doesn't include the "fluff/aeration" of the egg whites😨 I'm sure it's lovely though

I made this today . To be honest this is the first chocolate mousse i have try and it was superb . For those who trying to make chocolate mousse , give enough time to freeze 1 hour or 3 hour . When it's frozen and firm only it will taste the best

Dairy Heavy whipping cream.

[@alricaneshama]

I'm trying to figure out the easiest method for making this. Can't deal with pudding. The taste, consistency, texture. Awful. However, mousse? LOVE IT! The difference is mousse isn't cooked, pudding is Dark Chocolate being my fav.

[@panipoori8961]

While I was melting chocolate and butter on double boiler it kind of got rubbery... !!! Is it normal .... Should I use Room temperature butter or chilled butter

[@favoriterecipes9861]

You should use room temperature butter. It's okay, if your texture is rubbery, add whipped cream and your texture will be smooth.

[@sakinaboriwala8772]

Hey, I live in India and in a small town so I dont have access to full fat cream. Only low fat cream is there. Can I add any form of fat to compensate? Like butter/oil.

[@sarahngo3989]

[@gazzyb5427]

The chocolate mixture was split in the video and then suddenly it wasn’t. It was too hot I think. Will it come back as you add the cream or with a electric whisk better?

[@favoriterecipes9861]

At what minute did the chocolate split? if you add whipped cream and fold gently, you get a smooth mixture like mine. Don’t use electric mixer.

[@gazzyb5427]

@@favoriterecipes9861 just on 3 minute on vid and just before and as you were adding the lightly whipped cream it looked a little oily and separated than it wasn’t.

I understood what you meant ... I think there was some mistake when she mixed chocolate and egg mixture ... the curdling started to form there it self... whn she mixed with whipped cream it was getting to hard to blend envy thing.. So she changed the whole thing and started Fresh.( Not sure why she hide it) . you can see the clean bowl at 4:06 th minute.. She could have told what and where it went wrong

Egg use wipped egg white

[@minzamihlar4404]

I made this today. However, after mixing the chocolate mixture and whipped cream, there were tiny specks of the chocolate mixture. It wasn't entirely smooth. Didn't I fold the mixture enough? Please let me know what went wrong.

[@favoriterecipes9861]

Next time, strain the chocolate through a sieve so that there are no lumps.

[@michaelbenenson]

It's a choc creme, not a mousse - no egg whites. Enjoyable taste but not as elevating. I would also suggest less butter in the choc mix. The mousse approach wouldn't require the butter (which is primarily for the 'gloss' it lends).

[@panipoori8961]

If making with eggs... should we use the Egg whites ( whipped) uncooked..!!!

[@ss-nu8xx]

Exactly right. It’s not mousse

[@inaayashahzad9271]

Appreciate the person who made it

[@flowerchild777]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the egg whites lol. I got so engrossed in the video I wasn't really paying attention. Thank you for bringing this up👍

[@vickiehurt2665]

I wouldn’t use that much butter 🧈 either!!

[@suereed3474]

I made it. It was wonderful, but I chose 75% chocolate. I would go down in percent, and it will be even better. It is very rich, and if you are older like me, eat sparingly. It will effect you.

[@warriorfifi110]

Do I add all of the whipped cream? If not, how much?

[@favoriterecipes9861]

You must add all the whipped cream.

[@nuskarismy2981]

I did according to the video, but didn’t get the pouring consistency at last..🤔

[@dineeshachammi9061]

Me too😭

[@picklethedinosaur134]

If it was thick then the whipping must have gained so much air if u keep stirring it a little bit harder it will get a little pourable if it was really liquidy then u might need to keep it in the refrigerater for about 5 -10minutes and then whisk it a little bit

What can I do if my whipped cream never thicken? I live in hot weather

[@favoriterecipes9861]

You should use heavy cream for the whipping, it will definitely be thick.

Try to put the bowl and the whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. It works every time for me.
