How to Make Mexican Chocolate Mousse
- Melt 1 (1.5 ounce) tablet of Mexican chocolate in 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in a pinch of salt. The mixture might appear slightly grainy; this is normal.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 (3.4 ounce) package of instant chocolate pudding mix.
- Gradually add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream to the dry ingredients, beating on high speed with an electric mixer until the mixture thickens.
- Add the cooled chocolate-milk mixture to the whipped cream mixture and beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Divide the mousse into individual serving cups or glasses.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably 6 hours, to allow the mousse to set completely.
- Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip before serving (optional).
