Servings 10 servings
Calories 384kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate 60% cacao, chopped
- 4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate chopped
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add chocolates, mini marshmallows, and milk to a large, heavy saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and well-combined.
- Remove from heat, and cool completely. This is key. If the chocolate mixture is still warm, it will melt the whipped cream.
- In a large bowl, beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla together to soft peak stage.
- Reserve 3/4 whipped cream to top mousse for serving.
- Cover, and chill reserved whipped cream until ready to serve.
- Fold 2 cups whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture until well-combined.
- Divide mousse among dishes, and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
- Serve topped with reserved whipped cream.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.
