Working outside of the home, my time is very limited, so we often fall back to store-bought treats. Easy Chocolate Mousse Recipe came in handy on the day I was running out of time and needed a dessert for the evening. It came out to be so much better tasting than the store bought.
When we go for cruises or Las Vegas buffets, this is one of our favorite treats. It satisfies you within the first few bites and raspberries accent the chocolate with more delicious flavors.

Just saw this! THIS looks like complete yumminess! I can't wait to make it 🙂
🙂 lol, totally complete 😉
I made this over the weekend and it turned out great, although i will cut the sugar in half for next time.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing Natalia. I wonder if that would change liquid texture of you add less sugar. Let me know how it goes.
I just made this and am very disappointed.. for some reason when I started added the whipped cream into the chocolate raspberry sauce my chocolate started clumping up into huge chunks. I melted my chocolate on a waterbath and I thought I followed all of the directions? So I ended up putting my mousse thru a sieve again but I feel like after doing so the mousse isn't as fluffy as its supposed to be. So it pretty much tastes like frosting. Also how many cups is 16 oz? I looked it up and it says 3 cups.. is that correct? Another thing is how long so you simmer the raspberries for? I know you said until it has even texture but an approximate time would be helpful.
One cup = 8 ounces. So that would make it 2 cups. Raspberries is all depended on your stove, size of your pot etc. I would say 5-10 minutes of simmering. I am wondering if you added whipping cream all together or in small parts.
Oh okay idk why but I thought that chocolate chips are measured out by weight not by cups and by weight 16 oz is 3 cups. So that was the problem. I had too much chocolate. I added the cream in small parts.
Oh, i didnt even think the weight would be different than cup measurements. I will change it to cups
Oh i will have to try this!!! Sounds delish!
🙂 oh so good.chocolate lovers dream.
