  • In a small heatproof bowl, set over a saucepan of simmering water, heat 1/4 cup of the cream, stirring often, until steaming. Remove bowl from pan and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth (place it over the pan of hot water again if it doesn't all melt, being careful not to overheat it).
  • In a chilled bowl, using an electric mixer, whip remaining cream until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar and vanilla just until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold one-quarter of the whipped cream into chocolate mixture, then fold back into the remaining whipped cream.
  • Fold in two-thirds of the raspberries. Spoon into serving dishes and top with remaining raspberries. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

  1. We scaled this recipe down to two servings, so perhaps some of my issues came from that (although I've never had scaling issues before)... my husband and I didn't enjoy this. It was more like ganache than mousse, and it really wasn't sweet enough. I refrigerated it for about 4 hours before serving, and after removing it from the fridge, we waited nearly 2 hours for it to soften up again to no avail. I'm not assigning stars in case the error was mine.
