The easiest chocolate mousse you’ll ever make. All you need is chocolate and water! Perfect when you need a dessert a hurry. Get started with the first step, throw it in the freezer and make your mains. Then whip this up and serve. Done!

180g (6.35 ounces) dark chocolate

60mL (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup water

Extra 70mL (2.37 fluid ounces) or 2 1/2 tablespoons cold water from the fridge

Milk Chocolate Mousse

180g (6.35 ounces) milk chocolate

60mL (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup water

Extra 60mL (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup cold water from the fridge

White Chocolate Mousse

180g (6.35 ounces) white chocolate

60mL (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup water

Extra 40mL (1.35 fluid ounces) or 3 Tblsp cold water from the fridge

Place the chocolate of your choice and the 60ml of water into a bowl. Microwave on high heat on full power for 30 seconds, stir well. Heat for another 20 seconds and stir again. The mixture should be smooth with all the chocolate melted. If you still have unmelted chocolate give it 10 seconds more in the microwave.

Put the mixture into a plastic bag, seal at the top and flatten. Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Flattening it in the bag increases the surface area so it cools down more quickly than it would in the bowl.

Whip the chilled chocolate mixture on high speed using electric mixers until smooth and paler. Add a little of the cold water at a time.

Pour or pipe into glasses. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and serve. Super easy!
