Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar sifted

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Sifter
  • Spatula
  • Serving dishes

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and tools. Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and dry for the best results.
  2. In your mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Once the cream has thickened slightly, add the pure vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form.
  4. Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar. This step is crucial to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mousse.
  5. Using a spatula, gently fold the cocoa and sugar into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mousse.
  6. Spoon the mousse into your chosen serving dishes. You can enjoy it immediately or chill it in the fridge for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Ensure your heavy whipping cream is cold for the best volume and texture.
  • Don’t overmix after adding the cocoa and sugar; fold gently to maintain the lightness.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular.
  • Chill your serving dishes beforehand for an extra touch of elegance.
