While I know how to make mousse from scratch, it is generally not my favorite thing to do because it takes FOREVER, okay? Yes, there are sometimes where shortcuts aren't going to kill you. Like, for instance, if I can get away with making chocolate mousse without having to bloom gelatin, I will. This recipe will take a little more effort than making pudding and folding whipped cream in, and it tastes almost as rich and is about as decadent as the original. You ready for it?
Easy Mousse w/Variations
Ingredients | Equipment
METHOD
In your mixing bowl...
Place your cream cheese and whip it.
In your double boiler....
Put your chocolate chips in, make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the container or bowl, and that your water is at a light boil. Melt your chocolate gently, stirring constantly with your wooden spoon.
Pour the chocolate over the cream cheese...
Using the whisk or mixer to incorporate chocolate and cream cheese together thoroughly. Make sure to scrape as much chocolate from the one bowl into the other.
Make your whipped cream by whisking vigorously into another bowl...
Or use premade stuff... Put that into your bowl and fold into the chocolate and cheese mixture to make a nice, fluffy mixture. Place top on bowl, then put into the fridge and let it sit for at least an hour.
