In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

💡 Tips:
-
For a lighter version, fold in some Greek yogurt or mascarpone.
-
You can make flavored mousse by adding fruit puree or coffee to the chocolate.
-
Using a piping bag makes it look fancy for presentation.
If you want, I can give a super simple 3-ingredient version that’s ready in 10 minutes and tastes like a restaurant dessert.
Do you want me to do that?
