Chocolate Mint Mousse Recipe – Easy dark choc dessert with 3 ingredients – with the video tutorial.

Chocolate Mint Mousse

This chocolate mint mousse recipe has only 3 ingredients and makes a decadent, dark chocolate dessert.

I find it difficult to resist a minty chocolate sweet treat and this mousse is the perfect way to enjoy the flavor marriage by the glorious spoon full.

3 Ingredients For The Dessert

Here are the 3 ingredients that you’ll need for the simple dessert:

Chocolate – I’ve use a dark mint chocolate that I found at ALDI. You can use any mint chocolate you like, or really any flavored chocolate works well in this indulgent mousse recipe.

Butter – unsalted butter is melted with the chocolate to create a rich and creamy dessert.

Eggs – yes, this recipe includes raw eggs, so be sure that the eggs are as fresh as possible and avoid serving to anyone with a weakened immune system. (Including young children and anyone who is pregnant.)

If you’d prefer the make the dessert without eggs, then simply melt the chocolate and butter together, allow to cool, whip a cup or so of heavy whipping cream until thickened then fold the melted chocolate mixture through that.

If you’d like a stronger minty flavor, you can add in a half a teaspoon peppermint extract.

For a sweeter mousse, simply add a few spoons of sugar or your sweetener of choice to melt with the chocolate and butter mixture.

The easy chocolate mint mousse recipe can be served in bowls, glasses, dessert cups or even as the mint layer in a decadent chocolate mint pie.

Chocolate Mint Mousse Recipe

• 100g/3.5oz Mint Flavored Chocolate, Chopped
• 100g/3.5oz Unsalted Butter, Chopped
• 4 Eggs

1. Place the chopped chocolate and butter into a small saucepan on the stove top over low heat to medium heat.
2. Cook, stirring regularly until you have a saucepan of smooth melted chocolate, then pour it until a bowl.
3. Separate the eggs, whisking the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, one at a time and placing the egg whites into a separate bowl.
4. Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form.
5. Quickly mix a spoon of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate and yolk mixture, then gently fold through the rest until you have a smooth, creamy chocolate mousse mixture.
6. Spoon the chocolate mousse into a presentation bowl, small bowl or individual glasses, then place in the fridge for a few hours to set.
7. After the refrigeration time, enjoy as is or topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce or fresh mint leaves.
