Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
This ultra-simple vegan chocolate mousse is rich, velvety, and impossibly smooth—all made with just two ingredients. Inspired by French chocolate chantilly, it uses hot coffee or tea to melt dark chocolate, which is then whipped over an ice bath to create a fluffy, airy texture. A quick and elegant dessert perfect on its own or dressed up with your favorite toppings.

- 1 cup hot coffee or tea use decaf if preferred
Instructions
- Fill a medium bowl with ice and water to create an ice bath.
- Place the chocolate in a second medium-sized bowl. Pour the hot coffee or tea over the chocolate and stir until fully melted and smooth.
