Method

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the marshmallows, 1/2 cup of cream, and salt.

  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 4 minutes.

  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips on high for 2 minutes or until mostly melted.

  4. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the melted chocolate chips and stir until well combined.

  5. Set the mixture aside and let it cool completely for about 2 hours.

  6. In a separate large bowl, whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cream using a hand mixer on medium speed or a whisk until stiff peaks form.

  7. Cover and refrigerate the whipped cream until the chocolate mixture is ready.

  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three separate batches. Take your time and be patient while incorporating.

  9. Serve the dessert immediately or divide it into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor. However, keep in mind that it may affect the overall richness of the mousse.

. Can I substitute marshmallows with marshmallow fluff?

While you can use marshmallow fluff, keep in mind that the texture may be slightly different. Marshmallows add a delightful chewiness to the mousse.

. How long does the mousse need to chill?

It's best to chill the mousse for at least two hours to allow it to set properly. However, if you're short on time, you can place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

. Can I make this mousse ahead of time?

Absolutely! This mousse can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent any odors from seeping in.

. Can I use whipped topping instead of whipped cream?

While you can use whipped topping, using fresh whipped cream gives the mousse a lighter and airier texture. It's worth the extra effort!

. Can I add some liqueur to the mousse?

Yes, you can add a splash of your favorite liqueur to the melted chocolate mixture for an extra kick of flavor. Just be mindful of the amount, as too much can overpower the taste.

. Can I use a hand mixer instead of an electric mixer?

Yes, a hand mixer works just as well. It may take a bit longer to achieve stiff peaks, but the end result will be just as delicious.

. Can I freeze the mousse?

While you can freeze the mousse, it may change the texture slightly. It's best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, freezing is an option.
