Really, Really Easy Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Recipe

  • 1 (100 gram) bar bittersweet (dark) chocolate, broken into small pieces
  • 1 cup 35% cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries, thawed and drained, divided
  1. In a small heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, heat 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the cream, stirring often, until steaming.
  2. Remove bowl from pan and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth (return it over the pan of hot water if it doesn't all melt being careful not to overheat it).
  3. In a chilled bowl, using an electric mixer, whip remaining cream until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar and vanilla just until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold one-quarter of the whipped cream into chocolate mixture then fold back into the remaining whipped cream. Fold in two-thirds of the raspberries.
  5. Spoon into serving dishes and top with remaining raspberries.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
