Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
This ultra-simple vegan chocolate mousse is rich, velvety, and irresistibly smooth. Made with just dark chocolate and hot coffee or tea, it’s inspired by French chocolate chantilly and whipped over an ice bath for a light, airy texture—no cream needed. Enjoy it on its own or elevate it with toppings like orange zest, berries, or sea salt.
