Directions
Are you having a Chocolate Craving? When my craving hits, I like to make this super delicious Chocolate Mousse.
This mouse is light an fluffy and filled with a deep chocolate taste.
What makes it light? It is because we are using “low fat cream cheese” instead of full fat along with cocoa powder, vanilla and melted milk chocolate.
The combination of that along with whipped cream, makes for a much lighter yet delicious mouse.
Matter of fact one serving size of this is roughly around the same calories as half of one of your favorite chocolate bars.
CAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BE MADE IN ADVANCE
Yes, mine can. Because we are not using eggs it will keep well in the fridge for 2 to 3 days! So if your having a large gathering this could make for a special dessert for everyone.
HOW MAKE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
- It is super easy, you will want to start with placing the cream cheese on the counter to obtain a room temperature before using it.
- Then you will want two metal mixing bowls and a small microwavable bowl.
- Then you will want to melt the chocolate bar in the microwave bowl till melted, once melted add the cocoa powder.
- In one of the mixing bowl take a handheld blender and whisk the cream cheese.
- In the other add the whipped cream and whip with a handheld blender.
- Fold the whip cream into the cream cheese.
- Then fold into the melted chocolate.
- Whip all together for less than one minute till combined and serve.
- Top with shaved chocolate pieces if desired.
