There’s really no such thing as too much chocolate. When you mix it with the right ingredients, it gets even better, like this mousse!

After trying this recipe, I was surprised to see that it provides an authentic mousse experience with just six ingredients. We have no hard feelings for eggless mousse recipes, but no matter how hard you try, they just can’t match up to the real thing.

Moreover, I was delighted to learn that this recipe takes 15 minutes to get together and looks pretty served in glassware. We love serving this mousse in martini glasses, small bowls, and espresso cups. So, get the party started with Bobby Flay’s chocolate mousse recipe.

Equipments Required

  • A Set of Bowls – To get things started, you will need a large bowl to melt the chocolate and two medium-sized bowls to whip the eggs and cream separately. 
  • Double Boiler – The best way to melt chocolate is in a double boiler, which ensures it melts evenly. But if you don’t have one, you can place a bowl on a saucepan full of boiling water to melt the chocolate. 
  • Hand Mixer – Preparing this requires beating the eggs and cream. Therefore, a hand mixer will be helpful for this purpose. 
  • Whisk – To combine chocolate, eggs, and cream, a whisk will do the job best.
  • Serving Goblet – Once ready, you will need a goblet of your choice to serve this delectable mousse!

  • We always use a food thermometer to check the temperature of the chocolate while melting it to prevent it from burning. 
  • Likewise, we also check the temperature of the chocolate before folding it into eggs, as hot chocolate will cook the eggs and spoil the texture of the mousse.
  • We also tried some recipe variations, including adding a tablespoon of dark rum and a dash of orange extract to the melted chocolate mixture, and found the taste unique.
  • If you are not a fan of dark chocolate, we recommend you make this mousse using white chocolate, too. However, you must be sure that it is labeled as “white chocolate” and contains cocoa butter. That’s because there are a lot of varieties of white chocolate available in the market that are not meant for cooking.
  • To make this dessert taste and look more impressive, we suggest topping it off with whipped cream, butterscotch bites, berries, or even chocolate shavings!

This way, your mousse will retain its freshness and flavor. However, we don’t recommend freezing the mousse as it ruins the texture.

  • Whipped Cream – Whipped cream and chocolate mousse are a classic pairing. To enhance the taste, we recommend sprinkling it with cinnamon powder.
  • Salted CaramelSalted caramel adds a decadent contrast to the chocolate’s salty and toffee-like flavor.
  • Chopped Nuts – To add a crunchy texture, top the mousse with toasted or candied nuts.
  • Chocolate Shavings – To make your mousse more chocolatey, top it with milk, white, or a combination of both chocolate shavings.
  • Fruit Compote A fruit compote prepared with various fruits, such as raspberries, strawberries, cherries, or blackberries, will add a delightful touch of sweet and tangy flavors.
