This has to be one of the easiest and most delicious desserts that exist. Many chocolate mousse recipes call for gelatin and/or eggs; not this one!
Yield: 6 servings
Time: 10 minutes + chilling time
Tools
- small saucepan
- wooden spoon
- 2 bowls
- electric mixer
Ingredients
- 2 c heavy cream
- 3 oz unsweetened chocolate
- ½ c sugar
Directions
Heat ½ c cream in saucepan over medium heat, until just about to boil.
Finely chop the chocolate and place in bowl.

Whip remaining cream and sugar in the other bowl until they form soft peaks.
Stir the chocolate mixture until all is melted and well incorporated, then fold in the cream.

Notes
If you love chocolate, this is equally good served plain or with fresh strawberries.
