Elegant and Easy Chocolate Mousse with Ganache Topping
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 30g dark (55%) or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 130ml whipping cream (non-dairy unsweetened for a dairy-free option), divided
For the Ganache Topping:
- 30g milk chocolate (non-dairy for a dairy-free option), melted
- 30ml heavy cream (non-dairy unsweetened for a dairy-free option)
Directions:
- Begin with the mousse base by heating 30ml of cream in a small pot until it boils. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl and stir until smooth and glossy. Cover with cling film directly touching the ganache and let it cool to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip 100ml of cream to soft peaks at medium speed. Gently fold a quarter of the whipped cream into the cooled ganache, then fold in the remainder. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the cream from splitting.
- Transfer the mousse into dessert cups using a piping bag or spoon and chill for 2-3 hours.
For the Ganache Topping: Combine melted milk chocolate with heavy cream and stir until smooth. Pour over the chilled mousse before serving.
