Description

Indulge in these Marry Me No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cups, a luscious and elegant dessert featuring rich dark chocolate mousse layered with sweetened mashed raspberries. Perfect for special occasions or a romantic treat, this no-bake recipe combines creamy, airy chocolate mousse with the vibrant freshness of raspberries, all set in beautiful individual cups.

Ingredients

Chocolate Mousse

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt

Raspberry Layer

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)

Assembly

  • 4 serving cups for presentation

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly to prevent it from melting the whipped cream.
  2. Whip the Cream: Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape but still has a smooth, velvety texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Once the melted chocolate has cooled to room temperature, gently fold it into the whipped cream along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula to carefully mix so as not to deflate the airy whipped cream, resulting in a smooth chocolate mousse.
  4. Prepare the Raspberries: Mash half of the fresh raspberries in a small bowl with the sweetener of your choice (honey, maple syrup, or stevia). Leave the mixture slightly chunky to maintain texture and bright flavor.
  5. Layer the Cups: In each serving cup, start with a layer of the chocolate mousse, followed by a layer of the mashed raspberry mixture. Finish with a final layer of mousse on top, creating a beautiful layered effect.
  6. Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. This chilling step allows the mousse to set properly and the flavors to meld together for the best taste experience.
  7. Garnish: Before serving, garnish each mousse cup with fresh whole raspberries on top. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence and visual appeal.

Notes

  • For a sweeter mousse, adjust the amount of sweetener to taste when mashing the raspberries.
  • You can substitute dark chocolate chips with semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate depending on your preference.
  • This dessert can be assembled a day ahead and kept refrigerated for convenient serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, try using coconut cream in place of heavy cream and ensure the chocolate chips are vegan.
  • Make sure the melted chocolate is cooled to room temperature before folding to avoid deflating the whipped cream and curdling.
