  1. hi thank you for this! I made it but the chocolate seized and it was all lumpy. It was still yum and I ate it anyway! I’m guessing the chocolate was too hot? and the cold cream made it sieze?

  2. Can I use whipped topping instead and, if so, what would be the amount used? Also, how many ounces total does the recipe make?

    • I have never tried it with whipped topping, but you could. I’d guess an 8 ounce container of Cool Whip would work. It will be sweeter, so I’d stick with semi sweet chocolate chips. I didn’t weigh it, but I ended up with 6 servings that were between 1/3- 1/2 cup each.

  10. Try this recipe while whipping in the chocolate melted chips and vanilla extract the combination completely broke down everything separated it was disgusting will never use this recipe ever again

    • So sorry you had trouble, that has never happened to me, but I know it’s a bummer. 🙁 I’m guessing either your chocolate was too hot, or your cream was over-beaten.

  11. Just made this! First time was a last minute deal only to find out I had no whipped cream ???? and didn’t want to give up and attempted to make my own… New batch is chilling now and looks and tastes much better.. although I did noticed the former bowl was licked clean and it wasn’t the dog! ???? Thanks for the yummy and quick recipe!

  12. In the past I would make Julia Child’s recipe for chocolate mousse. It was always a hit – but being 71 and getting too old to stand beating egg whites, chocolate, etc., I decided to look up easy chocolate mousse recipes. Found yours and found heaven! Very easy and very, very, very good! I used Grand Marnier instead of the vanilla to make it an official “grandma’s secret chocolate mousse recipe” and it was perfect. Next time, and there WILL be a next time, I will do the vanilla.
    This recipe is a winner! Thank you SO much!
