This is so good but I think might of over or under mixed it. It was vary so soft and easy to pore. But other then that it was good
I have a question I can’t eat dark chocolate so can I use milk chocolate instead?
Wondering how to make this great recipe ketogenic. So use non-sweetened dark chocolate… and something like erythritol or stevia. What would be the quantities to replicate the sweetness of this recipe? TIA
Easy to make recipe with lovely results! I made this with my boyfriend and mom and everyone loved it. We accidentally overwhipped on the first try, but we succeeded on our second. Thanks a lot!
Very delicious chocolate mousse!! Always make them for a surprise visit from my family or friends 😉
Only thing is that, I add a small amount of semi-sweet chocolate (like 20g) to make it more sweeter for my friends but still very delicious and creamy
It is really delicious.
Could I have recipe in American measurements? Thank you
You could just Google “convert _____g to oz” yourself. It’s only 2 ingredients. And it scales, so it would depend how many servings you set it too.
bro, there is a thing called searching or converting the measurements
In this recipe, they apply 1:2 ratio of cooking chocolate and cream. Weight conversion isn’t necessary.
Hope that helps:)
This really seems yummy. Can I used coconut milk instead of whipping cream? For a healthier version?
Thanks
I would think so if you just use the cream. Put a can in the fridge so it solidifies. Scoop out the solid and whip it. I plan on doing this with coconut milk myself.
You are right.
Yes, you can. Just make sure you use properly chilled coconut cream also keep the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 1 hour before whipping the cream.
