Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 60–70% cacao
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or almond milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream for whipped topping
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for whipped cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or strawberries for garnish
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder optional decoration
  • Fresh mint leaves optional

Instructions
 

  • Microwave chocolate chips in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  • Heat milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling.
  • Pour warm milk mixture over melted chocolate, let sit 30 seconds, then whisk until silky smooth.
  • Allow the chocolate base to cool to room temperature (10–15 minutes) to preserve whipped cream volume.
  • In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
  • Gently fold one-third of whipped cream into chocolate base, then fold in remaining cream until no white streaks remain.
  • Divide mousse into bowls and chill for 1–2 hours until set.
  • Top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, and mint leaves just before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days; flavors deepen over time. Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
