Ingredients
- 200g frozen raspberries
- 100g chocolate chips (dark or milk, depending on your preference)
- 200ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Optional: extra raspberries and chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberries: In a small saucepan, gently heat the frozen raspberries over low heat until they start to break down and release their juices. This should take about 5 minutes. Once softened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Melt the Chocolate: In another saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want it to be fluffy, not stiff.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well incorporated. Then, fold in the cocoa powder and the cooled raspberries, making sure to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- Serve: Once chilled, garnish with extra raspberries and chocolate shavings, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
This raspberry chocolate mousse is a wonderful way to end any meal, providing a satisfying blend of sweetness and tartness. It’s simple enough for a weeknight treat yet elegant enough for a special occasion. Enjoy every spoonful!
