Chocolate Mousse Cups
These Chocolate Mousse Cups are a quick dessert that looks impressive without a lot of effort. They’re rich, chocolatey, and light at the same time, with just three simple ingredients and no baking required.

Helpful Tips
- Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar before adding them to the cream. This helps prevent lumps and gives the mousse a smoother texture.
- Start whipping on low speed so the dry ingredients don’t fly everywhere. Once everything is combined, increase to medium speed for the best consistency.
- Don’t overwhip the mousse. Stop once stiff peaks form so it stays light and creamy instead of becoming grainy.
