Ingredients

  • 9.35 oz. (265 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water

Optional:

  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Toppings: chopped nuts, cocoa nibs, fresh berries, whipped cream, etc.

Instructions

  • Place a large mixing bowl on top of another slightly smaller, filled with ice and cold water.
  • In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and water until smooth. Don’t let it boil, simply melt it.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the large bowl and whisk vigorously until the mousse begins to thicken.
  • Be careful not to over whisk as the mousse will become grainy. If it happens, remelt the chocolate mousse and start whisking all over again.
  • Serve the dark chocolate mousse immediately or keep it, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
