Dark Chocolate Whiskey Mousse
Decadent, delicious and simple to make! This 4-Ingredient dark chocolate whiskey mousse makes the perfect addition to any gathering! Fluffy and rich with a subtle bite of bourbon and vanilla. You're not going to be able to stop eating this dessert!
Equipment
- electric mixer
Ingredients
- 2 C heavy whipping cream
- 2 C dark chocolate chips (recommend Ghirardelli)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp bourbon whiskey * can add more to preference
Instructions
- in a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric hand mixer (or any electric mixer) on high until stiff peaks form. The whipping cream is done when the cream is stiff and there are noticeable "clumps". This should only take a couple minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips (halfway) in a small saucepan on the stove over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid overcooking. Remove from heat before the chocolate chips have melted completely.
- Away from heat, stir the chocolate until entirely melted and smooth, then add whiskey and vanilla. (If you opt to add more whiskey, do so 1 tsp at a time and stir between). Quickly stir to incorporate and pour in to the whipped cream while it's still melty. Fold chocolate into the whipping cream with a spoon/spatula (or use an electric mixer on low) until fully incorporated.
- Chill in the fridge for at least ten minutes to allow it to become dense and "custard-like". Once chilled, spoon into a whiskey or shot glasses. I recommend to enjoy once it returns to nearly room temperature. Then, Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings!
Notes
Store the mousse in an airtight container in the fridge!
