Instructions

  1. Step
    In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup (80 mL) of whipping cream and chocolate.
  2. Step
    Microwave the mixture in 20-second increments, whisking well in between, for approximately one minute, until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool to room temperature (10-15 minutes).
  3. Step
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or using an electric hand mixer, whisk the remaining whipping cream. Slowly add the sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  4. Step
    Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until completely incorporated.
  5. Step
    Divide the mousse into 4 ramekins or small bowls, filling each with about 1/2 cup (125 mL) of mousse. Store in the fridge overnight or until set. Top each with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.

To achieve more volume and fluffiness in your whipped cream, chill the cream, bowl, and beaters or whisk.
