April 3 is National Chocolate Mousse Day. Now, that’s my kind of holiday!
I decided to re-post my easy chocolate mousse recipe in honor of this esteemed holiday. And, I’m listing a few links to some other decadently delicious sounding mousse recipes swirling around there on the Interwebs.
First, some link love for the following recipes from some of your favorite bloggers:

And, now for my chocolate mousse recipe. You’ll find mine to be very easy and approachable for cooks of all levels. I hope you enjoy it.
Celebrate this choco-holiday with a big cup of mousse!
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 oz of melted unsweetened chocolate
- 1 tsp vanilla
- First, place the heavy whipping cream in a bowl fitted with a mixer, or use a hand egg beater.
- Beat the whipping cream till soft peaks form.
- Add in the sugar, vanilla and salt (Note: Don’t over mix; the mixture will turn into butter if mixed too much).
- Fold in the chocolate with a rubber spatula (To "fold," scoop the whipped cream mixture up and under, incorporating the chocolate throughout).
- Chill or freeze till it's time to serve (about 30-40 minutes in the fridge).
- Top with whipped cream and enjoy!
