Easy Chocolate Mousse for New Year Recipe

10 Minute Easy Chocolate Mousse for New Year Recipe

Ingredients

• 150g 70% dark chocolate, plus extra to serve
• 6 egg whites
• 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
• 4 tbsp crème fraîche and grated chocolate, to serve

Takes 10 min, serves 4.

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwaveable bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, scatter in the sugar and whisk again until the mixture forms stiff peaks when you lift the whisk out (around 30 seconds).
2. Add a big tablespoon of the egg white to the melted chocolate and mix vigorously, working fast so the chocolate doesn’t cool and harden. Then fold in the remaining egg whites carefully using a spatula or large metal spoon. Spoon into 4 glasses or ramekins and set in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Serve each with a dollop of crème fraiche and shavings of dark chocolate.

Easy Delicious Chocolate Mousse Pie

This pie is purely irresistable! It's so chocolatey, so fluffy, so rich, so creamy. It's absolutely perfect and unbelievably easy to make!

Servings: 10
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp (28g) salted butter, diced into 4 pieces
• 1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips*
• 1/2 cup (3 oz) bittersweet chocolate chips (or another 1/2 cup semi-sweet if you don't want it quite as rich)
• 2 cups (104g) mini marshmallows
• 1/3 cup (80ml) milk (whole or 2%)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups (415ml) heavy whipping cream
• 1 (6 oz) store-bought Oreo pie crust

Topping

• 1 cup (235ml) heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
• Chocolate shavings, for garnish**

Instructions

1. Add butter, milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips and marshmallows to a large saucepan.
2. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until chocolate and marshmallows have melted (it will take a while for the marshmallows to melt, keep stirring).
3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla pour into a large mixing bowl and let cool, about 45 - 60 minutes (it should be about room temperature).
4. Whip 1 3/4 cups heavy cream (preferably in a chilled bowl) until very stiff peaks form. Fold into cool chocolate mixture.
5. Pour chocolate mixture into Oreo crust and spread into an even layer (if you don't want it as tall as mine is you can just reserve some of the mousse chilled in cups for later).
6. Chill in refrigerator 3 hours.
7. For the topping, whip remaining 1 cup cream with sugar (preferably in a cold mixing bowl) using an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
8. Spread over pie, garnish with chocolate then cut into slices. Store pie in refrigerator.
9. *I've also made this successfully with 1 cup milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for more of a milk chocolate flavor vs. the regular dark chocolate flavor it has.
10. **To make chocolate shavings just run a vegetable peeler down the sides of a bar of chocolate.
