One-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse Seems Too Good To Be True (It Is)
by HANNAH SKINNER
Quick and easy dessert recipes are a delight, and social media has loads of recipes to try, including this one-ingredient chocolate mousse that went viral on Instagram.
The recipe claims you only need chocolate, but the second sneaky ingredient is water. Water is essential for the recipe to work, so it should count as an ingredient.
Chocolate chips and water are mixed in a blender until the chocolate completely dissolves. When the mixture sets in the fridge, it forms a mousse-like texture.
This recipe has mixed reviews, with some saying they “feel like water is going to make the taste too watery.” Instead of water, you could use heavy whipping cream.
