What Chocolate Can I Use?

To make this mousse, I always use Terry’s chocolate orange. It’s a combination of milk chocolate and natural orange extract, which gives a delicious chocolatey orange taste.

If you can’t get your hands on Terry’s chocolate orange, you can use any type of orange flavoured chocolate. Or you can buy them here on Amazon.

You can of course use any chocolate you like; this recipe also works well with other flavours like dark chocolate and white chocolate. You don’t have to stick with a chocolate orange flavour despite how good it tastes.

Watch How To Make It

2 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse (Recipe Ingredients)

This recipe is so popular because you only need 2 ingredients to make it.

Traditional mousse recipes involve separating eggs, water baths or using gelatin, but not this one! This recipe is egg free, super-fast and pretty much effortless.

Below are the ingredients needed to make this dessert:

  • Terry’s Chocolate Orange: Terry’s chocolate orange is a popular orange flavoured chocolate.
  • Double Cream (whipping cream): The cream is whisked using an electric whisk to help incorporate air into the mousse to get a light, bubbly and airy texture.

How To Make Chocolate Orange Mousse

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make 2 ingredient chocolate orange mousse, full recipe instructions are on the recipe card at the bottom.

Step One:

Melted chocolate and double cream mixture

The first step is to melt the chocolate orange and 100ml of double cream together until melted and mixed well. Set the chocolate aside for later use, it will also cool down in this time.

I usually melt the ingredients in the microwave on a medium to high heat, stopping the microwave every 20 seconds and mixing the ingredients together each time. If you’re using a saucepan, heat the cream until it starts to bubble, then turn the heat off, add the chocolate and mix till melted.

Step Two:

Whisking double cream using an electric whisk
Whipped cream

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the double cream on a high setting until the cream doubles in size, thickens and forms soft peaks. Try to avoid overwhipping the cream as this can result in the cream splitting.

Step Three:

Chocolate orange mixed with whipped double cream

Using a spatula gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Then add the remaining whipped cream to the bowl and fold till evenly distributed.

Tip: Folding the mixture can take a long time. To quicken the process, when the cream and chocolate is nearly combined, I whisk the mixture for around 5 seconds using an electric whisk. This smooths out the mixture and gets rid of any lumps of whipped cream.

Step Four:

Mousse in glasses going to be chilled in the fridge

Pipe or spoon the mixture into glasses or cups and leave to cool in the fridge for 2 hours.

Tip: Wipe the rim and top of the glass with mildly wet kitchen towel (tissue) to get rid of any smudges.

Step Five: (Optional)

Chocolate mousse topped with cocoa powder

Before serving the chocolate orange mousse add any toppings of your choice. I sprinkled cocoa powder on top.

My Top Tips

If you want this chocolate mousse recipe even richer, add in a couple pieces of dark chocolate with a strong cocoa percentage. When melting the chocolate have a taste and add more dark chocolate if necessary. This will also give the mousse an attractive dark rich colour.

Instead of Terry’s milk chocolate orange you can use Terry’s dark chocolate orange, I can’t seem to find them in the shop but everything is on Amazon.

Using milk chocolate orange can be quite indulgent and sweet. You can make the mousse less sweet by using less chocolate. You could also half the amount of Terry’s chocolate orange used and replace it with dark chocolate with a strong cocoa percentage.

If you want to make this mousse alcoholic, a small addition of orange liqueur makes a big difference!

There are so many ways to decorate the chocolate mousse once set. You can add dried fruit like raspberries, whipped cream, chocolate, sprinkles or cocoa powder like what I did.

Use a big mixing bowl to melt the chocolate as the whipped cream will be added to it at a later stage.

How To Store & How Long Do They Last?

Keep the mousse in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’re making this dessert ahead of time, cover with cling film and decorate just before serving.

The longer the mousse is in the fridge the firmer it becomes, if you’re making this dessert ahead of time leave it at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

    Way simpler than the traditional way to make mousse, and still really fluffy and delicious! I used all but 2 slices of the Terry’s orange and added about 50g of dark chocolate. I also topped it with a ganache that used mostly dark chocolate and the remaining 2 slices. It was a great balance!
