Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder Dutch preferred, sifted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a chilled mixing bowl, begin whipping the heavy cream until it becomes frothy and slightly thickened.
  • Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder gradually while mixing. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
  • Add almond extract if using, then whip again until stiff peaks form. This step gives the Easy Chocolate Mousse its signature airy texture.
  • Transfer the mousse into a piping bag or spoon directly into serving bowls or glasses.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Serve with fresh berries or shaved chocolate for extra flavor.
  • You can substitute almond extract with vanilla extract for a milder taste.
