Eggless chocolate mousse, made with very few ingredients, is extremely easy to prepare while remaining velvety and incredibly soft. On rainy winter days, it's one of the recipes I always make with my son to lift our spirits!

Chop the dark chocolate and set aside

Heat 260g of heavy cream over the stove until it almost reaches the boiling point (90 degrees Celsius), then turn off the heat

Add the chopped dark chocolate and butter, stirring with a spoon

Stir until all the chocolate has melted, then let it cool slightly

Meanwhile, whip the remaining 240g of heavy cream until stiff peaks form

Fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, using a whisk with gentle upward and downward movements until fully combined

Transfer the mixture into individual serving molds (or cups) and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve with some amaretti biscuits and a dusting of cocoa powder
