Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour in the melted chocolate and beat until fully incorporated and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  • Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses or jars.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Top with chocolate curls, whipped cream, berries, or toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
  • Let the melted chocolate cool slightly so it doesn’t seize when mixed.
  • Fold gently to maintain the mousse’s light texture.
  • Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results.
  • Try mini chocolate chips or cookie crumbles between layers for texture.
