Eggless Chocolate Mousse - Chocolate mousse is a classic dessert loved by many. However, traditional chocolate mousse recipes often call for eggs, which can be a problem for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. Fortunately, there are delicious eggless alternatives that still deliver the rich and creamy texture we all crave. This is a very easy recipe for a creamy, sweet and velvety chocolate mousse that requires no eggs.
Ingredients for Eggless Chocolate Mousse
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon of instant coffee powder (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and cocoa powder. If desired, you can also add instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can become grainy. The whipped cream should be light and fluffy.
Step 3: Combine the Chocolate and Cream
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Make sure to incorporate the chocolate evenly without deflating the whipped cream. Continue folding until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Transfer the chocolate mousse mixture into individual serving glasses or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm. For best results, leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
Once chilled, you can garnish the mousse with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving. The eggless chocolate mousse is now ready to be enjoyed!
