Directions
- 1
Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst until completely smooth.
- 2
Pour the heavy cream into the melted chocolate and stir continuously until the mixture is fully combined, silky, and lump-free.
- 3
Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula with slow, circular upward motions to keep as much air as possible in the mixture.
- 4
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 2 minutes. Microwave for a few seconds to fully dissolve, then stir well.
- 5
Pour the dissolved gelatin into the chocolate mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
- 6
Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or a large dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set. Serve chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
Top with chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra touch. Dark chocolate works beautifully as a substitute for a more intense, less sweet flavor.
