  • 1 1/4 cups cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Place chocolate in medium saucepan. Warm up over low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
  2. With electric beater, beat cream and salt together in another bowl just until soft peaks start to form (fluffy put still pourable).
  3. Mix 3 tablespoons water into melted chocolate.
  4. Pour whipped cream over chocolate mixture and fold gently until incorporated.
  5. Pour mousse into six 4-ounce ramekins.
  6. Cover and chill until set (2+ hours). Keep chilled until time to serve.
  7. If desired, top with toffee, or fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Recipe Notes

Quick Tip:
Absolutely wait until the chocolate has cooled to lukewarm before adding water or folding in whipped cream. If the chocolate is too warm, it may seize the chocolate.
