How to Make 3 Ingredient Fruity Chocolate Mousse
- Place 6 ounces of finely chopped orange chocolate (or your preferred chocolate) in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until completely melted. Alternatively, melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, but not enough to solidify.
- In a separate bowl, gently fold 1 cup (240ml) of prepared vanilla custard into the melted chocolate using a metal spoon or spatula until fully combined and the mixture is a uniform chocolate color.
- In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold almost all of the whipped cream into the chocolate-custard mixture, reserving a small amount for garnish.
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses. Top each serving with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably several hours, to allow the mousse to set completely before serving. Garnish with fresh berries or fruit slices, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
