Chocolate and Water: An Unexpected Pair

There is an equally surprising variation of this recipe with only two ingredients: dark chocolate and water! Forget complexity; this minimalist version proves that desserts can be simple.

The experiment was tried and approved by culinary content creator, Charlotterecoq, on TikTok. A revelation for all chocolate mousse lovers who didn’t think that making it could be so simple and delicious.

Two-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

For dessert lovers who want to enjoy chocolate mousse guilt-free, this lightened version is your new best friend. The recipe promises an airy texture and indulgent flavors while reducing the amount of calories.

There is more to this famous two-ingredient chocolate mousse recipe than delicious flavors. When we think of this sweetness, we can’t ignore the unexpected benefits of dark chocolate, or anything made with cacao actually.

Dark chocolate, the star ingredient in this recipe, is a powerful source of antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, keeping your cells healthy. Additionally, dark chocolate is known for its potential to improve cardiovascular health by promoting the dilation of blood vessels, which may help regulate blood pressure.

Simply put, it just gives us one more excuse to enjoy this recipe without feeling guilty.

The recipe for the two-ingredient chocolate mousse

Ingredients:

  • 150 g dark chocolate

  • 200 ml hot water

Preparation:

  1. In a bowl, break up the dark chocolate into small pieces.

  2. Heat water in a saucepan or kettle and pour it directly into the bowl. Mix with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted.

  3. There are two ways to do this: a blender or a mixer.

  4. The TikToker has tested both options and both work. For the blender, blend for at least 3 minutes until your mousse starts to emulsify well. This can be seen by the small bubbles that form on the surface. For the mixer, allow about 4 minutes.

  5. Pour your mixture into small ramekins and place them in the fridge overnight.
