Chocolate Mousse Bites Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 200 g chocolate (milk or dark, your choice)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp gelatin
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Gelatin

  1. In a small bowl, mix gelatin with 3 tablespoons of water.
  2. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms.
  3. Melt it gently in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or over low heat until liquid.

2. Melt the Chocolate

  1. Place your chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Add the milk.
  3. Melt together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals.
  4. Mix until smooth and shiny.
  5. Stir in the cocoa powder and sugar.

3. Add the Gelatin

  1. Pour the melted gelatin into the warm chocolate mixture.
  2. Mix well so everything combines smoothly.

4. Whip the Cream

  1. In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. Do not overbeat — it should be fluffy and smooth, not stiff.

5. Combine

  1. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  2. Do this in 2–3 additions to keep the mixture airy.
  3. Stir until the batter becomes silky, creamy, and lump-free.

6. Shape and Chill

  1. Pour the mixture into silicone molds or small muffin molds.
  2. Tap gently to remove any air bubbles.
  3. Refrigerate for 4–5 hours or freeze for 1 hour for faster setting.

7. Serve

Unmold gently.

The texture will be smooth, creamy, and mousse-like — exactly like the bites in the photo.
