Choco mousse recipe with just water and chocolate

Ingredients (for 2 servings

) Chocolate: 50 g
Hot water or water: 50 ml

Chocolate should have a cacao content of 60% or more, and mineral water is recommended for water. Prepare ice separately to cool.

Preparation Method

Put the chocolate and boiling water in a bowl. Or you can add water and heat in a microwave oven while keeping an eye on it.


Whisk with a whisk until smooth, allowing the chocolate to dissolve into the water.



Fill a larger bowl with ice water and layer the bowl of chocolate.



Stir quickly to cool the chocolate.


It will turn into a mousse-like consistency in a few minutes. When the desired consistency is reached, transfer to a container.

How does it taste?

It is heavy and chunky, but soft and fluffy in the mouth. It melts lightly with the heat of your tongue. It may be smoother than a bad mousse...! I am impressed that such a texture can be achieved with just water and chocolate.


Since only chocolate is used, the flavor is very rich. The quality of the chocolate directly affects the flavor and aroma, so this recipe should only be made with chocolate that is too good to use for baking. You can also add alcohol, fruit sauce, or other arrangements.


By the way, it does not melt at room temperature, nor does it become stiff when cooled. It is recommended for homemade Valentine's Day!
