Ingredients
Heavy cream
1 1/2 cups
Cocoa powder
1/4 cup
Powdered sugar
1/2 cup
Vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon
- In a chilled mixing bowl, begin whipping cream with a whisk. Whip until frothy and slightly thickened. If you forgot to chill your bowl, fill it with very cold water, then drain.
- Sift together sugar and cocoa powder.
- Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder to heavy cream. Carefully mix until soft peaks form.
- Add vanilla extract, and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix - this will turn your mousse into butter!
- Spoon into serving dishes, and serve with additional toppings if desired (chocolate shavings, strawberries, etc.)
