Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large, chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. (5 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

Using an electric mixer with chilled beaters, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. Set aside. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, beat the whipped cream cheese until soft and smooth. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Gradually add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until well combined. (1 minute)

05

Step
1 mins

Mix in the almond extract until fully incorporated. (30 seconds)

06

Step
5 mins

Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored. Be careful not to overmix. (3-5 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Spoon or pipe the mousse into small serving dishes or glasses. (5 minutes)

08

Step
2 mins

Garnish with grated chocolate. (2 minutes)

09

Step
30 mins

Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the mousse to set. (30 minutes)

For an even smoother mousse, sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the cream.
If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract works well as a substitute.
Chilling the serving dishes before filling them will help the mousse set faster.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as fresh berries or chocolate shavings.
To make it a mocha mousse, add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder along with the cocoa powder.

    I didn't have any grated chocolate, so I used chocolate sprinkles instead, and it was still amazing!

    I was skeptical about the cream cheese, but it adds such a wonderful tanginess to the mousse.
