Description
A rich, creamy chocolate mousse with a holiday twist, made using melted marshmallows and dark chocolate for a fluffy, decadent dessert.
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz Campfire marshmallows
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (good-quality)
- 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch allspice (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine marshmallows, milk, and heavy cream over low heat. Stir often until melted and smooth.
- Pour the hot mixture over the dark chocolate chips. Whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Let the mixture cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours until thickened.
- Once chilled and set, whip the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Transfer the mousse to serving dishes or pipe into glasses. Serve immediately or chill until serving.
Notes
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or allspice for a festive flavor.
- Folding in whipped cream after whipping can lighten the texture further.
- A drop of peppermint extract, orange zest, or liqueur can be added for variation.
- Dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream and plant-based milk can be used, but test ratios carefully.
- Store covered in the fridge and consume within 2-3 days. Do not freeze.
