We love whipping up these simple, but delectable chocolate mousse cups. The kids love ’em, my husband loves ’em, and I love ’em. Plus, with only a few ingredients and nothing to bake, these are are quick and fun to make.
These are rich, creamy, and refreshing. Can you ever go wrong with chocolate and coffee?
We love these all year-round, but with the temperatures rising, we will need to make these more often. So, whip some up and stick them in the fridge, play outside for a few hours, and come back for a refreshing Chocolate Mousse Cup. Trust me, you’ll love them!
Don’t forget the whipped cream. If you’ve never made homemade before, learn how to with Shelby’s recipe for Simple Homemade Whipped Cream.
