This airy chocolate mousse gets its rich cocoa flavor from Hershey’s Cocoa and its soft, spoonable texture from whipped cream. A little gelatin helps the mousse set while it chills.
Spoon it into individual dessert dishes, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and finish with fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries. The recipe makes about 8 servings.
Helpful Tips
- Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly before adding it to the whipped cream.
- Beat the cream mixture until stiff before blending in the gelatin.
- Chill the filled dessert dishes for at least 30 minutes before serving.
