    This was certainly fast and delicious as I licked the last little bit from the bowl. I added a little bit of espresso powder and now the bowls are chilling.
    Thank you for reminding us that not all desserts have to episodically difficult.

    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?

    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.

    Did you use milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate?

      I like semi sweet chocolate, but it’s a matter of preference. You can even use a combination of both if you want!

      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.

    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!

    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!

      Just regular vanilla extract, real or imitation – it’s up to you.
