You have enough complicated dishes to make for Thanksgiving — here are some super easy ideas.
This perfectly light and airy mousse is so easy to make and satisfies those strong Nutella cravings. I’m not the only one to get those, am I? I am a huge fan of Nutella so this dessert really hits the spot.

Ingredients

This chocolate mousse recipe contains only 5 ingredients: Eggs, Caster sugar, Chocolate, Cream and a pinch of salt. It requires a little prep time and a few mixing bowls (there’s a lot of whipping involved to get that perfect mousse-y texture) but the process is super simple and the end result is so worth it.

• Eggs. I use extra-large, free range eggs. Make sure your eggs are room temperature before you start.
• Caster sugar. It’s important to use super-fine sugar as it will whip into the eggs faster.
• Chocolate. I use both milk chocolate and dark chocolate/bittersweet chocolate (70% dark chocolate) for this chocolate mousse. Milk chocolate alone would be too sweet and semi-sweet chocolate alone is too rich, in my opinion.
• Cream. Use heavy cream or whipping cream.
• Salt. Salt is essential in any dessert, even more so when that dessert contains chocolate.
  

  How to make chocolate mousse

  This chocolate mousse recipe requires a lot of whipping so get three medium to large bowls ready as well as a smaller bowl to melt the chocolate in. I use a hand mixer or whisk for the egg whites and cream but a stand mixer is great for the egg yolks as they need to whip for a while.
