🧁 Ingredients
3 oz (85 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, melted)

🥣 Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate:
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it gently in the microwave (20-second intervals, stirring each time) or over a double boiler until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Mix the milk:
Slowly pour the warm milk into the melted chocolate while stirring constantly. This helps create a glossy, silky base. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
3. Whip the cream:
In a separate bowl, beat the cold whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
4. Fold together:
Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix slowly to keep it airy and light.
5. Chill:
Spoon the mousse into small cups or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set and fluffy.
6. Serve:
Top with fresh raspberries, a dusting of cocoa powder, or shaved chocolate for an elegant touch.

💡 Tips for Perfect Chocolate Mousse
Don’t overmix — it can deflate the mousse.
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk for fluffier results.
Use quality chocolate — the flavor really stands out since it’s the star ingredient.
Make it vegan: Use coconut cream instead of dairy cream and plant-based chocolate.
