Instructions

1Prepare the Chocolate Base

10m

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, combine cocoa powder, milk, and sugar. Whisk vigorously until the sugar dissolves.

Boil the Mixture

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and boil on medium flame for 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning. The mixture should thicken.

Add Vanilla

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla essence.

Cool the Base

Let the chocolate mixture cool completely. Stir it continuously during cooling to ensure a smooth consistency. If it becomes too thick, add a little milk and re-boil briefly. If too thin, boil again until it reaches a thick, coating consistency.

2Whip the Cream

Whip Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes until soft peaks form.

3Combine and Mix

Fold Chocolate into Cream

Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula until evenly combined and no streaks remain.

4Pipe and Chill

Transfer to Piping Bag

Transfer the chocolate mousse mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

Pipe into Serving Dishes

Pipe the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls, creating a decorative swirl.

Chill

Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.

5Garnish and Serve

Garnish

Optionally, garnish with grated chocolate.

Serve

Serve chilled and enjoy!

Tips

Ensure the chocolate base is completely cool before folding it into the whipped cream to prevent the cream from melting.

Stirring continuously while boiling the chocolate mixture is crucial to prevent it from burning.

For a smoother mousse, ensure the chocolate mixture is well-emulsified after cooling.

Do not over-whip the cream; stop when soft peaks form, as it will continue to thicken slightly when the chocolate is folded in.
