Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream divided
- 18 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Beat 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until medium peaks form, which takes 1-2 minutes. Set this cream aside. Tip: For best results, chill the bowl that you’ll be whipping the cream in so that the cream stays as cold as possible. This takes just about 15 minutes in the refrigerator. A chilled bowl helps the cream whip into medium peaks faster.
- Next, place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each 30-second cooking period, until completely melted. This should take about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, heat ½ cup of heavy cream in the microwave until warm, about 45-60 seconds. Pour the warmed cream into the melted chocolate along with the sweetened condensed milk; beat with an electric mixer or whisk by hand until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Finally, fold in the whipped cream that you prepared at the very beginning. Do not overmix; fold just until the mixture is homogeneous. Pour into ramekins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set and chilled.
Notes
- To adapt this recipe into a keto chocolate mousse, simply omit the sweetened condensed milk and use sugar-free chocolate. Keep in mind that it will yield less mousse.

- Yes, this is a perfect make-ahead dessert because the mousse refrigerates very well. Just be sure to cover the ramekins of mousse well with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out too much. You’ll also want to hold off on any toppings until just before you’re about to serve the mousse.
