SUPREMELY EASY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Although cool whip can never take the place of whipping cream it can cut down the calories, make a very quick dessert and taste lovely as well. I served this in small dessert dishes with a very small piece of chocolate to garnish. Although I used milk chocolate, it could also be made with dark. The idea for this recipe came from Kraft.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE BY TASTY
You don't need to go to a pricey restaurant or work really hard to make your own chocolate mousse. This four-ingredient recipe involves beating heavy cream and sugar with an electric mixer, stirring your favorite dark or milk chocolate and hot cream, and then folding the two mixes together. Fancy it up by putting the mousse in chilled martini glasses and topping with whatever you want - whipped cream, fresh raspberries, pirouette cookies, or chocolate shavings.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream and the sugar, beating with an electric mixer until soft peaks form when lifted from the bowl. Set aside two large spoonfuls of the whipped cream to garnish with at the end.
- Whisk the chocolate and hot cream in a separate bowl until smooth, then fold in the mixture into the cream with a spatula until no streaks remain.
- Split the chocolate cream mixture evenly between two martini glasses or your serving dish of choice, then chill for at least 1 hour.
- Garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream, raspberries, mint, and the chocolate cookie.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your mousse. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure your chocolate is finely chopped. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly. You can use a knife or a food processor to chop the chocolate.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff, which will make your mousse grainy. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks form, but not until they are dry.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. If you mix them too vigorously, you will deflate the egg whites and your mousse will be flat. Use a spatula to fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Chill the mousse before serving. This will help it set and firm up. Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mousse is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a chocolate mousse that is sure to impress your friends and family.
