Ingredients
- 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows, about 6 cups
- 2 ½ cups (595 g) heavy whipping cream, divided
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for garnish
- whipped cream, for topping
- fresh strawberries, diced for garnish
- shaved chocolate, for garnish
Instructions
- To a large microwave-safe bowl, add the mini marshmallows and 1 ¼ cups of heavy cream. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, whisking after each interval, until melted and smooth (about 3-5 minutes total).
- Add the chocolate chips to the hot marshmallow mixture. Whisk until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the remaining 1 ¼ cups of heavy cream until medium-soft peaks form. (Medium-soft peaks hold their shape but have a slight curve at the tip when the beaters are lifted.)
- Add half of the whipped cream to the cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until the mixture is light and airy.
- Divide the mousse evenly among 4 dessert glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with grated chocolate and fresh strawberries.
