Ingredients
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 240 ml Heavy cream (divided)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Pour 120 ml of heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it's hot but not boiling.
Step 2
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot cream. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth. This creates a chocolate ganache. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 3
In a separate mixing bowl, pour the remaining 120 ml of heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Once the ganache has cooled to room temperature, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the airy texture.
Step 5
Continue folding until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this might make the mousse dense.
Step 6
Your quick chocolate mousse filling is ready to use! Spread or pipe it onto cakes, cupcakes, or inside a Swiss roll.
Step 7
For best results, chill the filled cake or dessert for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the mousse to set.
