Super Easy Chocolate Mousse

How do you make chocolate mousse without eggs? How do you make chocolate mousse without melting chocolate.. I can help!

(By the way, this is most definitely NOT a weight watchers recipe!!) To be fair, it's probably not technically "chocolate mousse" but it's definitely tasty, looks yummy and is very quick and easy to make.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

175ml double cream (chilled)
20g caster sugar
2 tsps cocoa powder

(yes.. it's really that simple!)

Method

1. Put all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and combine
2. Taste the mixture - you can add a little more sugar/cocoa if you prefer a sweeter or more chocolately dessert
3. Whisk the cream, sugar and cocoa until the cream forms soft peaks (I do this by hand with a balloon whisk because I am too lazy to wash up the beaters of an electric mixer!)
4. Serve



You could sprinkle a little icing sugar/cocoa powder over the top to make it look pretty. Best eaten immediately



(For anyone following weight watchers, just out of interest, I would estimate that 1 serving of this is around 14pp so definitely one for weeklies, not every day!. The serving is fairly big though - if you split it into 4 mini puds it would be around 7pp per serving.)

Let me know what you think if you try it out!!
