Servings: 1 person
Calories: 424kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces premium chocolate bar
- ¾ cup Cool Whip topping
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gently melt your chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature. It should still be liquid but not hot, to avoid melting the Cool Whip when combined.
- In a separate bowl, gently fold the vanilla extract and salt into the Cool Whip.
- Add the Cool Whip mixture to the cooled chocolate in 2-3 additions, folding gently after each addition to maintain the airy texture. Fold until the mixture is uniform in color, being careful not to over-mix and deflate the Cool Whip.
- Transfer the mousse into 1-2 serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse sets.
Notes
The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator and is best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal texture and taste.
