Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust based on sweetness preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberries: In a small saucepan, heat the frozen raspberries over low heat until they begin to break down and release their juices. Stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. If desired, add sugar to taste.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Then, fold in the cooled raspberry mixture and cocoa powder until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the mousse as is or topped with a few fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
This raspberry chocolate mousse is not only simple to make but also a show-stopper dessert that will leave your taste buds dancing. Enjoy this delightful treat with family and friends for a truly special occasion!
