This is one of three basic, easy mousse recipes I want to explore with you to set the foundation for some more intricate mousse recipes and entrements I want to make with you in the future!
There are a lot of chocolate mousse recipes out there, but this one requires the fewest ingredients, is super fast, does not need gelatin or anything additional as a stabilizer, and is sturdy enough to be used in molded or glazed cakes as well as in verrines or for any other purpose you would want a chocolate mousse - so it is a really great one to understand and have in your repertoire.
Basic Chocolate Mousse
150g Cream
150g Semisweet or Dark Chocolate (ideally between 58% and 70%)
300g Cream
1g Salt
1. Create a ganache with the 150g cream and the dark chocolate. You can simply warm the cream and pour it over the chocolate, though I recommend using a microwave or double boiler to also warm and melt the chocolate before you pour the scalded cream over the top.
2. Mix together the cream and chocolate, and add in the salt.
3. Use a whisk and/or an immersion blender to emulsify the cream and chocolate together and set aside.
4. Whip the 300g of chocolate to a SOFT PEAK, or maximum a medium soft peak.
5. Use your whisk to incorporate about 1/3 of the whipped cream into the ganache at about 35 degrees Celsius (95 F).
6. Continue adding the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, switching from a whisk to a spatula after the first or second addition.
7. Pour or pipe the mousse into your glasses or molds. I recommend transferring the mousse into a large piping bag, though you can use whatever tool you prefer.
8. Leave the mousse in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before you serve the mousse, if you piped the mousse into glasses or verrines. Leave the mousse in the freezer for several hours before you unmold them if you piped the mousse into silicone molds.

Final Notes:
If you don't use or understand grams, please use an online measurement conversion tool! Personally I think that recipes should be measured the way they are created, and I prefer the precise nature of using gram measurement
