Don’t forget to go through the baking tips first, CHECK IT NOW!

This is an easy, quick chocolate mousse and tastes so light. It tastes great on its own, and I also like using it as a filler in other desserts (check out the banana cupcakes with a dollop of this mousse). The key to good mousse is just the right amount of whipping, so watch it closely and don’t over whip the heavy cream mixture. 
Prep time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup cocoa
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Equipment:

Measuring cups
Handheld electric whisk
1 Medium bowl
Spatula or large spoon
Piping bag (optional)

How to…..

Chill your bowl beforehand for at least an hour in the freezer. The longer you can freeze it the better. Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and beat medium high speed beat until you get soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa and continue beating. Don’t overbeat it or it will split. Stop beating when you get stiff peaks. Put it into a piping bag or using a spoon scoop it into your serving cups. You can also chill it until you’re ready to serve it.

To decorate, I sprinkled some chocolate shavings and put some dried strawberries.
