Instant Chocolate Mousse (Nigella Lawson)
Recently I’m crazily in love with Nigella Lawson… hahaa. I really love her easy and delicious recipes that I’ve bookmarked many of them. This is my third post using Nigella Lawson’s recipe for August event, Cook Like A Star. This Instant Chocolate Mousse is not only easy to make, it’s also eggless and very chocolately rich too! If you’re too busy in the kitchen, you can simply make this chocolate mousse within 30 minutes. My family gives their thumbs up for this awesome dessert as it is not overly sweet, much to their liking. If you want to make this dessert, please use good quality chocolate to give the perfect chocolate taste. This chocolate mouse does not soften easily because of the melted marshallows and can be eaten straight away or chilled. Is the best chocolate mousse that I’ve tried so far!
mmmm…. so yummy!!!

Author: Ann Low
Serves: 6 cups
Ingredients
- 150g Mini Marshmallows (I used the normal marshmallows & cut into smaller pieces)
- 50g Soft butter
- 250g Good dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), - used valrhona chocolate, chopped into small pieces.
- 60ml Hot water (from a recently boiled kettle)
- 284ml Double cream ( used 300ml fresh topping cream 植物性奶油)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in a heavy-based saucepan.
- Put the saucepan on the hob, over heat, though keep it fairly gently, to melt the contents, stirring every now and again. Remove from heat and leave to cool. (Keep stirring till the mixture to smooth).
- Meanwhile, whip the cream with the vanilla extract until thick, and then fold into the cooling chocolate mixture until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture.
- Spoon the chocolate mousse into piping bag with tip #1M and pipe into serving cups and chill until you want to eat. The sooner the better!

Hi Ann,

Thanks for linking!
Ann, can I have the small chocolate mousse, yum!
That spoon's face says it all!
I like this too, looks chocolati.
Hello Ann! This recipe is so different from the classic recipe, which uses marshmallow! Hmmm, I still can't decide whether should go to grab the bigger class or the smaller glass, hehe~
Ann , those mousse look pretty delicious ! Love it !
Hi Ann! I'm a huge mousse fan so I have to give these a try. Thanks for being a part of the YBR.
i hv never tried making choc mousse like this kind before…hope to do it in near future..sounds easy too..no reason not to do it 🙂
Yum! I love chocolate mousse, and this makes my mouth water for a bite!
Anne, wonderful recipe! Where did you get the cups from/ Especially the smaller one which has "chocolate" design around it.
Ann, wow! You are simply awesome! You even piped the inside of the cup and it is so skillfully done!! By the way, how do I whip the fresh topping cream? Can I use a mixer and do I beat until soft or stiff peaks or in between? Is your fresh topping cream same as the cream from PH which you used for in your cheesecake recipes? Thanks!
Ai Li, I got these cups from PH long time ago. hehee… the chocolate design is from my piping skill 😀
Hi,May i know where do you get the better chocolate? Bakery shop here seemed like only providing normal baking chocolate. All same same 🙁
Hi Esther,
If you're from SG, you can buy the valrhona chocolate from Sunlik.
Thanks for sharing!
It's beautiful, Ann ❤
巧克力的魅力总是让我无法抵挡,请我吃一杯。。。
Hi Ann, can I use Whip Topping for this recipe? Thanks!

Ai LI, Better use at least a hand electric mixer. Whisk to peak form not stff peaks.
Yes I bought the topping cream from PH.
