Instructions
- Mix together the chocolate, salt, and espresso powder (if using) in a medium bowl.
- Heat milk until steaming and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until combined and smooth. Allow to cool fully.
- In another medium bowl, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes. Gently fold into the cooled melted chocolate.
- Pour mixture into 4 (4 ounce) ramekins or small tumbler glasses. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Dollop with some whipped cream and chocolate shavings and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to wait until the chocolate is fully melted by the hot milk, otherwise, you might get lumps in your mousse.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool fully before you start to stir in the whipped cream, otherwise, the whipped cream will start to turn back into a liquid and won’t set properly once chilled.
- Fold the whipped cream mixture into the melted chocolate, instead of stirring, to maintain the airiness and eliminate it being runny.
