    Ingredients

    Please note you will find the full ingredient list and method in the recipe card below.

    • Chocolate - we suggest using a good quality dark chocolate for this recipe. You can use milk chocolate if you prefer however the mousse will lose some of its richness.
    • Eggs - it is important to make sure your eggs are at room temperature before using.
    • Cream - you will need thickened cream for this recipe.
    • Sugar - caster sugar works the best with this recipe, however you could use icing sugar if that is all you had.
    • Salt - this helps to stabilise the egg whites, I promise you won't taste it in the mousse!

    How to Serve Chocolate Mousse

    When I serve my Thermomix Chocolate Mousse, I like to pop it into little glasses and then have a selection of yummy things that everyone can top their's with. Chopped strawberries, raspberries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, crushed Peppermint Crisp bars or crush chocolate honeycomb are all delicious options... and I certainly wouldn't say no to any of them.

    Tips for Making Chocolate Mousse :

    Although this recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare, you will need to allow for 2 - 3 hours of chilling time.

    We suggest using a good quality dark chocolate for this recipe, you can use milk chocolate if you wish however the mousse will be paler in colour and lose some of its richness.

    It is important to ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whipping the egg whites.

    You need to make sure the Thermomix bowl is clean and dry before whipping the egg whites, otherwise you will not get a white fluffy mixture.

      First ever real success with chocolate mousse, I used a good quality Belgian dark chocolate and it was IN-SANE. I also saved a bit of time by not washing the jug between the chocolate and cream steps, just scraped out well then added the cream straight in!

      Hi there, quick question, I used to make Chocolate Mousse before my Thermomix and it had alcohol in it - brandy I think. Can I still add this to the chocolate part? It was just really yummy and I would love to recreate it using my thermomix

      Delicious but my first batch of whippet cream became butter, perhaps reduce the time to 5sec if using heavy cream.

        Hi Reggie, the time it takes to whip the butter also depends on the temperature of it and it's expiry date. It's important to watch it carefully while it's whipping. We've all done the same thing at some stage!! 🙂
