Deliciously Simple Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for 3 minutes.
- While eggs and sugar are mixing, heat 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan until hot. Do not bring to a boil. With your mixer on low, slowly add the hot cream to the egg mixture slowly until combined.
- Add egg and cream mixture back into saucepan and stir over low heat, constantly, until thickened. Do not bring to a boil.
- Remove the thickened mixture from the heat and stir in chocolate chips until they are melted. Cover and place in refrigerator for 2 hours, until the mixture is chilled. Stir mixture occasionally.
- Once the mixture has fully chilled and is firm, whisk the remaining heavy cream with your mixer until stiff peaks form. Take the chocolate mixture out of the refrigerator and fold the whipped heavy cream unto the mixture until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pipe mixture into small serving dishes or goblets. Top with your mom’s favorite – sprinkles, crushed chocolate cream sandwich cookies, mini chocolate chips, or mini candy pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
