Alright, let’s whip up a super-fast, no-bake dessert that will truly melt in your mouth! Here’s a recipe for a creamy, chocolatey treat that’s ready in minutes:
5-Minute Chocolate Mousse Cups
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream (very cold)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: berries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a separate large bowl, pour the very cold heavy cream.
- Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Combine and Fold:
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be sure to fold, and not stir, to keep the mix light and airy.
- Assemble and Chill (Optional):
- Divide the chocolate mousse into individual serving cups or glasses.
- For a firmer texture, chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. However, it is ready to eat right away.
- Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Enjoy!
