Love chocolate mousse? You simply have to try this 2 ingredient chocolate mousse! I like to call it my "cheats mousse".

All you need is some cream and chocolate and within minutes you'll have a deliciously smooth and fluffy mousse that tastes just like the real deal!

There's no egg which is wonderful for those with egg intolerances, pregnant women or anyone who doesn't love the sound of raw egg in a dessert.

Anyone can make this recipe - it truly is that easy! And once you try it, I bet you'll be want to make it again and again.

TOP TIPS

  • Use whatever chocolate you like - milk, dark or white chocolate. I like to use Cadbury milk chocolate melts.
  • Don't whip the cream any further once you've added the chocolate. Fold the chocolate in by hand with a spatula.
  • You'll get 6-8 individual serves of mousse with this recipe, depending on how big the glasses are you are using.
  • You can serve these immediately but they won't be as thick. They only need an hour or so in the fridge to firm right up.
  • Feel free to halve this recipe - I usually only make that much which is great if only making for a few!

Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient. #glazedcarrots #carrotrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #cookitrealgood #veggies #sidedishes #sidedishrecipes

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/ OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐 I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired. This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own. The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour. It's on the table in 15 minutes. Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka.

Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe

Hi Sue, this is a 2 ingredient dessert. Both ingredients are necessary to make it. If you're looking for a healthy type of chocolate mousse I'm sure there's some recipe out there but it's not really my jam. Sorry I can't be more help - this is just an indulgence to eat on special occasions.

Its not mousse, it's cream with light flakes of chocolate through it. I've tried this recipe 3 separate times, each time with Cadbury chocolate melts, and no matter how cool I get the chocolate after melting without it resetting it goes hard when it meets the cream. The cream has been room temp the past 2 attempts

Made this twice successfully but the third time it separated…maybe the cream was too cold?
