If you can chop chocolate, whip heavy cream, brew coffee, and stir in an egg yolk, you can have this incredibly chocolate mousse for two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Chocolate Mousse Recipe is the perfect treat when you need a chocolate fix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rich chocolate mousse for two–it’s so much easier than you thought, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this recipe isn’t entirely authentic. I’m using heavy cream instead of egg whites here, and my technique of melting chocolate with hot coffee in the blender would make any French chef angry. But I’ve had the super complicated fancy mousse, and I still like this 5 minute chocolate mousse version more. It’s darker and richer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, anytime a recipe comes together in 5 minutes instead of 30, and<\/em> uses less dishes, I always call it a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe that I use the most on this site is my 15-minute puff pastry recipe<\/span><\/a>, but I have a feeling that this 5-minute chocolate mousse is about to take its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This easy strawberry mousse for two<\/span><\/a> is great if you don’t love chocolate. Plus, it’s made in the blender, just like this recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make a petite chocolate mousse cake<\/span><\/a> complete with truffles on top, I’ve got you covered there, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Mousse? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mousse is a light and fluffy sweet dessert. It is typically an uncooked custard or cream that is whipped until the air bubbles create a light, fluffy texture. The air bubbles can be trapped in egg whites or in heavy cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate Mousse vs pudding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pudding is cooked to thicken with cornstarch or flour, while mousse is not cooked. Mousse is typically whipped to trap air bubbles and create a custard-like fluffy texture that sets while pudding relies on a chemical reaction to thicken it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
