Notes
- The recipe yields 6 servings, with each serving approximately 4 ounces.
- When folding in the Nutella and melted chocolate, use a gentle folding motion to keep the mousse light and airy.
- If using a microwave, melt in 15-second intervals, stirring in between. If using a double boiler, stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Unlike traditional two-ingredient mousse, this recipe holds its texture even at room temperature thanks to the addition of melted chocolate!
- For the make-ahead option,you can prepare this mousse up to 2 days in advance. Keep it covered in the fridge and add toppings just before serving.
