Instructions

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, pour in the chilled heavy cream and whip it until soft peaks form. If using sugar, add it during this step.
Combine: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before serving.
Serve: Enjoy the mousse as is, or top with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.
