It&#8217;s the perfect finishing note to a special dinner, not to mention a perennial favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/traditional-valentines-day-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/traditional-valentines-day-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Valentine&#8217;s Day recipe<\/a>. Best of all, it&#8217;s simple for home cooks\u2014even ones who don&#8217;t love baking. Here&#8217;s how to make our favorite chocolate mousse recipe, with some troubleshooting tips to help you along the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chocolate Mousse<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chocolate: <\/strong>This is the star ingredient of mousse, so use a high-quality brand. The recipe calls for semisweet, which has a nice balance of bitter and sweet, but you may use another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/are-you-using-the-right-types-of-chocolate-for-baking\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/are-you-using-the-right-types-of-chocolate-for-baking\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of chocolate<\/a> if you prefer. We like a darker chocolate, ideally between 60% and 80% cacao. Any higher and the mousse may taste bitter; any lighter and the mousse will be very sweet. You can use chips or chopped up bars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg yolk:<\/strong> An egg yolk adds richness and body to the dessert.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> A hint of vanilla adds a layer of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream:<\/strong> Heavy whipping cream adds volume to the chocolate custard mix, giving the mousse its famous airy texture. You should use good-quality cream; don&#8217;t substitute milk or half-and-half. Here&#8217;s how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-heavy-whipping-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-heavy-whipping-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">use up leftover heavy cream<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Sugar sweetens the whipped cream that gets folded into the chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Melt the chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips with water, and stir until smooth.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the custard<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1974393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Semisweet-Chocolate-Mousse_TOHVS23_20300_DF_12_13_SemisweetChocolateMousse_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Melting the chocolate in a large pan while holding egg yolk in a plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stir a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk.

Beat a packet of unflavored gelatin in with the cream and sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garnish with green:<\/strong> Top servings of mousse with sprigs of herbs. Mint is classic, and basil is surprisingly delicious.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decorate with chocolate:<\/strong> Garnish the mousse with chocolate curls to wow guests. Take a large chocolate bar and, with a vegetable peeler, shave large strips down the length of the bar. They&#8217;ll curl up a bit naturally; use your fingertips to arrange them over the top of the mousse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate Mousse<\/h2>\n<p>Once the mousse has cooled, cover it with storage wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to four days. The flavor will continue to develop over time.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you make chocolate mousse ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>Chocolate mousse is a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/easy-overnight-desserts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/easy-overnight-desserts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make-ahead dessert<\/a>. It keeps well in the fridge for several days. You can also make mousse and freeze it.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Freeze Chocolate Mousse<\/h2>\n<p>You may freeze chocolate mousse\u2014some even enjoy frozen mousse as a frosty treat! Cover the cooled mousse tightly with storage wrap and seal in an airtight freezer bag. It will keep for about one month, though it may become grainy if frozen any longer.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Mousse Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1974407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Semisweet-Chocolate-Mousse_FT23_20300_ST_1215_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cream and berries on Semisweet Chocolate Mousse ready to serve\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the difference between chocolate pudding and chocolate mousse?<\/h3>\n<p>The recipes are similar, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-chocolate-pudding\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-chocolate-pudding\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chocolate pudding<\/a> is dense and thick. Chocolate mousse has a lighter, airier texture thanks to the whipped cream.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there raw eggs in this chocolate mousse recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>Stirring the egg yolk into the pan of melted chocolate cooks it, so this dessert does not contain raw eggs. When the mixture thickens, it means the egg is fully cooked.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my chocolate mousse not fluffy?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few possible explanations. First, you might not have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">whipped the cream<\/a> adequately before folding it into the chocolate mix. Or you may have stirred too vigorously and lost some of the air in the cream. Finally, it&#8217;s possible that you folded the whipped cream before the chocolate mix was completely cooled. Chocolate that&#8217;s too warm will deflate whipped cream.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you may be able to revive your chocolate mousse. Transfer it to a large bowl and beat it with a large whisk, making large, exaggerated movements to work some air into the mousse. If this doesn&#8217;t work, you may also fold additional whipped cream into the mousse to lighten it. It will taste slightly less chocolaty, but will still delicious.<\/p>\n<h3>What kind of dish can you use to serve chocolate mousse?<\/h3>\n<p>Chocolate mousse is fun to serve with a dramatic presentation. Using clear glass shows off the rich color and creamy texture. Serving it in individual dishes, bowls or even wine glasses gives it the elegant feel of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/steakhouse-desserts\/\"

Made almost as directed. I ended up using about double the water, and I whipped about 3\/4 cup cream instead of half a cup. As written this recipe makes two very small desserts, and I wanted to have a smidge larger servings and a slightly milder chocolate flavor. With 3\/4 cup whipping cream and sugar to taste, I ended up with just the right amount of whipped cream left over to put a dab on each serving for garnish. This was a big hit with both hubby and me. Will definitely make again. As a side note...I had always thought that chocolate chips were probably a lesser grade of chocolate than regular baking chocolate. We were both surprised at the depth and complexity of the flavor of the chocolate in this dessert.
