What to Serve with the 2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
I like my chocolate mousse simple, just as it is. However, when I have the time, I love garnishing it with some extra toppings, like fresh raspberries or strawberries. The freshness of the fruit balances the mousse’s richness and adds the finest contrast. My mother enjoys it with a sprinkle of crushed almonds or hazelnuts for a bit of crunch.
If you’re craving some extra sweetness, try adding a drizzle of caramel sauce or a few pieces of toffee. This mousse is already creamy, but if you want it even creamier, you can top it with a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs so well with different flavors, you can mix and match based on your mood or what you have available!
Chef’s Tips
- For the perfect mousse, focus on the mixing times. Don’t overmix the ganache or whipped cream, and fold them together gently to avoid a grainy texture.
- For the perfect texture, make sure to keep the mousse chilled in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- You can store this for 3-4 days tops.
- For garnishing, feel free to use whatever you like, such as grated chocolate, chopped nuts, brittle, or toffee, for added crunch and flavor.
