Description

Once you prepare this simple chocolate mousse with just three ingredients and the help of a microwave, you'll never use another recipe!

Ingredients

9 ounces good-quality chocolate
5 tablespoons water

Directions

1 Break up chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour water over chocolate and microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes. Remove and stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
2 Place heavy cream into a mixing bowl and mix with an electric stand mixer's whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Fold chocolate mixture into cream using a rubber spatula until mixture is uniform. Place immediately into a serving dish.
