Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces dark chocolate bar chopped
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream chilled

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Notes

  1. The recipe yields 6 servings, with each serving approximately 4 ounces.
  2. When folding in the Nutella and melted chocolate, use a gentle folding motion to keep the mousse light and airy.
  3. If using a microwave, melt in 15-second intervals, stirring in between. If using a double boiler, stir continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Unlike traditional two-ingredient mousse, this recipe holds its texture even at room temperature thanks to the addition of melted chocolate!
  5. 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.
