5-Minute Chocolate Mousse

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 12 hours 7 minutes

Ingredients

6 ounces (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips

1 ounce unsweetened baker’s chocolate, coarsely chopped

3/4 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

Whipped cream , for serving (optional)

Chocolate shavings, for serving (optional)

Directions

Melt the chocolate: Add the chocolate chips and baker’s chocolate to a blender. Heat the milk to scalding temperature (180°F to 185°F), either in a microwave-safe measuring cup in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, or in a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. It should be steaming but not actively boiling. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate in the blender and let it sit to allow the chocolate to melt a bit, about 2 minutes.

Blend the mousse: Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt to the blender. Blend at high speed until the mousse is smooth and slightly aerated, about 1 minute. Pour the mousse into 6 ramekins, pot de creme cups, or coupe glasses—you’ll use about 1/3 cup per serving. Cover the ramekins and transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours. Serve the mousse chilled, on its own or with whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top. They will keep, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
