The traditional french-style chocolate mousse is often a rigorous process- from whipping egg whites and folding the batter gently in order to preserve the air bubbles. Butttt, I don't do rigorous processes and came up with a 10x easier way of making something super close to the real deal. One bowl? Only 6 ingredients? So basically I'm telling you that this is the ultra perfect dessert to make on a Saturday night. If you can whip cream, you can make this like a pro with no issues. Its really that easy + its INSANELY good. Imagine rich chocolate softness melting in your mouth and silky whipped cream. Match made in heaven!!!! Happy making :)
