Classic Chocolate Mousse
A light, airy dessert made with rich cocoa, whipped cream, and a hint of vanilla.
This classic chocolate mousse is silky‑smooth and decadently chocolaty. It’s prepared without baking—just fold whipped cream into a glossy cocoa base—then chilled until set for a perfectly spoonable treat.
