Easy Chocolate Chip Mousse

    Instructions:

    1. Whip the cream – In a large mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
    2. Add sweetness & flavor – Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
      1. Add chocolate chips – Stir in mini chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed.
      2. For mousse – Spoon into serving bowls, garnish with extra chocolate chips, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
      3. For ice cream – Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Allow to soften slightly before scooping.

    Notes

      • Use mini chocolate chips for a smoother bite; regular chips may harden too much in the ice cream.
      • If you want a lighter mousse, fold gently to keep the whipped cream airy.
      • Can be made egg-free (as written) and requires no ice cream maker.

    Tips

      • Add a swirl of caramel or chocolate sauce before freezing for extra decadence.
      • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
      • Store mousse in the fridge for up to 3 days and ice cream in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
    • Garnish with whipped cream, nuts, or shaved chocolate before serving.

    Servings

    • Makes 6 servings (about ½ cup each).
