2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

 Wednesdays always need a little something extra to help get you through the last part of the week.



And what better than a chocolate recipe...a chocolate recipe with 2 ingredients none the less?


Don't let the amount of ingredients fool you...this is nothing but pure heaven!


Again, I say don't be fooled by the number of ingredients...unfortunately, having only 2 ingredients does not equate into taking only 2 minutes to make.



Now before you go complaining and wanting to hate me because you think dessert is hours away, try to resist! You can whip this up, refrigerate it well you prepare dinner and then when you're all done eating, this bowl full of chocolaty fluffy peaks will be waiting for you. You will no longer hate me....in fact you will want to shower me with gifts (*cough*Chanel*cough*) for gifting you with such a simple dessert recipe.




2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

1 c. chopped chocolate (I used the milk chocolate bar from Trader Joe's...chocolate chips also work)
2 c. heavy whipping cream

Over low heat (or a double boiler), melt together the chocolate and one cup of cream, stirring constantly. Place in the fridge until cool, about 30 minutes. Mean while, beat the other cup of cream until stiff peaks form. Take the cooled chocolate mixture and beat that separately until thick. Fold in the plain cream. Serve with a dollop of whip cream on top and/or berries.
