How to Make Milk Chocolate Mousse

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces of milk chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of water on high for approximately 45 seconds.
  2. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 1 (8 ounce) container of dairy-free whipped topping with 1/4 cup of milk using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  5. Remove 1/2 cup of the whipped topping and set aside.
  6. In the bowl with the remaining whipped topping, gently beat in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
  7. Gently fold in the cooled melted chocolate until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Spoon the mousse into 4 dessert glasses or small bowls.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
  10. Before serving, top each mousse with the reserved whipped topping.
  11. Garnish with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings (optional).
