Ingredients needed for Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate: make sure the chocolate is suitable for melting. You will most likely find that a normal block of chocolate won’t melt well and will just turn lumpy. Cooking chocolate is highly recommended. You may also like to combine milk chocolate and dark chocolate to create a more milky mousse.
Cream: full fat cream is most suitable for this recipe. We have also used oat cream and even though it’s not as fluffy as normal cream it certainly tastes great.
Coffee/ Rum: adding both of these ingredients is certainly optional and if serving to children definitely not recommended. Both coffee and rum brings increases the intensity of the chocolate.
Berries or other fruits: having something fresh on the side of the mousse makes the dessert next level. We love fresh berries such as raspberries, strawberries or currants but you may also want to try banana, mango or some orange.

FAQ’s to create the best Chocolate Mousse:

- You sure can, as mentioned above you can easily swap the normal cream with an oat cream. You will then just have to use your most loved vegan chocolate.
Why don’t you use eggs in this recipe?
- Most chocolate mousse ask to use raw eggs. However, due to the increased risk of salmonella food poisoning, we prefer not to use them. We promise that this mousse is as fluffy and delicious as it would be if you were to use eggs.
