Easy Chocolate Mousse made with only 3 Ingredients: chocolate, eggs and heavy cream! This easy chocolate mousse recipe takes less than 15 minutes to put together.
Add egg yolks to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. On the highest speed whisk yolks until they thicken and are lighter in color, about 3-4 minutes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat warm up ½ cup heavy cream.Add a splash of the warm cream to the whisked egg yolks and stir gently. Add the eggs with the rest of the cream into the saucepan. Cook mixture until thickened, 2 minutes, stir constantly.
Take off of the heat and stir in chocolate until melted.
Meanwhile, add the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream to the stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk until cream forms soft peaks, 2-3 minutes.
Very carefully fold the whipped heavy cream into the chocolate mixture. Divide the chocolate mousse between bowls or glasses. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set.
Serve with extra whipped cream on top, if desired and shaved chocolate for decoration. Enjoy!
