Light chocolate mousse using only heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. No eggs and no melted chocolate. Fluffier than classic mousse.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream

    cold

  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

    use 1/3 cup for darker flavor; sift

  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup (40-60 g) powdered sugar

    start with 1/3 cup; add more if sweeter

Instructions

  1. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 10-15 minutes if you can.

  2. Pour the cold cream into the bowl and beat on medium until frothy and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Sift in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Mix on low just until combined so the powder does not fly everywhere.

  4. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form. Stop as soon as it holds its shape; overbeating turns it grainy or buttery.

  5. Spoon or pipe into 4 small bowls or glasses. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
    Notes: Powdered sugar dissolves more smoothly than granulated. Granulated can work if you sift the cocoa well and whip a little longer. Keeps covered in the fridge about 2 days. Serve as-is or dust with extra cocoa.
