step 2. Add room temperature hot fudge sauce
Add the hot fudge sauce directly from the jar, do not heat it first, it should be at room temperature. Note: If your chocolate sauce has been refrigerated, bring it to room temperature before using.
step 3. Beat until thick!
Beat on medium speed until you start to see the beaters leave faint streaks in the mixture. Pay attention and keep beating until the trails become more defined and your mousse is nice and thick. Lower the mixer speed if that helps you control the process.
Step 4. Cool
Serve the mousse in small bowls or glasses. The chocolate mousse will thicken even more as it cools and develop a really lovely texture. Don’t skip this step even though it’s tempting to gobble up the mousse right after whipping (lick the beaters instead).
how to serve your 3 minute chocolate mousse
Mousse is a rich decadent dessert and you really don’t need anything with it. Sometimes I top it with grated chocolate or fresh berries, but that’s it! This is a dessert that can (and should) stand on its own.
if you love 3 minute chocolate mousse you will love it too
Instructions
- Put your cold cream in a deep bowl or glass measuring cup and start by whipping it on medium speed for about a minute, just to get it foamy.
- Add your room temperature hot fudge sauce and continue to beat on medium speed, moving your beaters around the bowl as you go.
- Once you notice the beaters start to leave faint marks in the mix, pay attention! The marks will soon become more defined and the mousse will have stiff peaks. Note: by stiff peaks I just mean that when you take the beaters out of the mousse, it will hold one peak without tilting before falling back on itself. But the mousse will still have a soft consistency.
- Pour the mousse into individual serving bowls and chill until ready to enjoy. The mousse will keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
grades
- If you want an even deeper chocolate mousse, you can experiment with using more chocolate sauce.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla or vanilla paste if you like.
