Essential Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
 |
MeronKartâs Chocolate Mousse Premix (100gm) - Good for 8 servings Our premixes for chocolate mousse are different from others in the market. We use vegan-friendly ingredients and add zero preservatives. Each packet of premix contains cocoa powder, sugar and agar agar. Milk (160 mL) Milk is a key ingredient in ensuring that the ingredients of the premix blend and aggregate well to create a light and airy texture. If you are vegan or if you have lactose intolerance, you can switch out milk for almond milk, soy milk, or other alternatives. Whipping Cream (300 mL) Another essential element of crafting a fluffy chocolate mousse is the whipped cream. This is what gives your chocolate mousse cups the smooth and airy texture that makes them melt right in your mouth with each bite. |

3 Easy Steps to Making the Tastiest 3-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse Cups
Step 1: Milk + Premix = Tasty Mixture
Boil the milk you have measured out with the chocolate mousse premix in the same bowl. This mixture will form the base for your delicious chocolate mousse cups.
Step 2: Tasty Mixture + Stirring = Perfect Chocolate Mousse Blend
Stir the mixture well for 2-3 minutes to allow the agar-agar, sugar and cocoa powder to blend seamlessly with the milkâthis will prevent your mixture from clumping in order to provide the smoothest texture to your tasty treat.
Step 3: Mousse Blend + Whipped Cream + Refrigeration = Delicious Chocolate Mousse Cups
Fold in your whipped cream into the chocolate mousse blend you just made. This will make your blend airy and lightâfor that perfect melt of chocolate mousse.
Pour this folded blend into cups of your choosing and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. The right balance of refrigeration will leave your chocolate mousse cups cold yet soft to the palateâthatâs what you should aim for.
Variations for Mousse Cups
While the classic chocolate mousse is a treat in itself, itâs also fun to play around with variations to bring new flavours to each bite. Here are a few ideas for sprucing up your mousse cups:
 |
Fruit Compote Layer A layer of raspberry or cherry compote can add a fruity punch to the richness of the chocolate. Simply spoon a bit of fruit compote at the bottom of the glass before adding the mousse. Sea Salt Sprinkle Just a pinch of sea salt sprinkled on top can really enhance that chocolate flavour, adding a surprising depth to each bite you take. Cinnamon or Spice Twist During the winter holidays, you can add a little warmth and cosiness to your mousse cups with a dash of cinnamon. The subtle spice enhances the chocolateâs richness and adds a unique, comforting twist. |
