This is based off my White Chocolate Mascarpone with Raspberries. I realised it would make a great chocolate mousse that could be whipped up almost instantly and now have it often! You can serve it in individual containers like the ramekins I use or you can chill it in one bowl and divide it out. Using one bowl you will need to chill it for longer, although I personally still prefer it in one bowl. If you have trouble controlling your portions though, it’s definitely a good idea to use individual bowls so you can just grab one and not overeat.
The servings are just right for a small and quick snack but you can divide it in two instead of three servings if you’d like a larger serving. I use Lindt brand 90% chocolate, if you use a sweeter chocolate you may need to add a lot less sweetener or none at all. For those with little sweet tooth, you can even leave the sweetener out altogether with the 90% Lindt for a nice dark mousse. Always taste test to make sure the sweetness is where you want it!
You can also add cacao nibs to make little choc chips in your mousse if you prefer that to a smooth chocolate mousse. Make sure you whip it really well when mixing otherwise it won’t always combine properly and can even split. Better over whipped than under whipped!

Almost Instant Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 second intervals until almost melted. Stir with a spoon until chocolate finishes melting. Add sweetener and mix into chocolate.
- Add mascarpone and start mixing. You want to whip it fast with your spoon (similarly to beating eggs) so it's well combined, gets a mousse consistency and doesn’t split.
- Spoon into individual ramekins or similar, or one bowl. Chill at least 20 minutes for ramekins and serve, one bowl will need a longer chill time.
