Description

This decadent Nutella Mousse is a no-bake dessert that combines smooth melted dark chocolate with creamy Nutella and whipped heavy cream. It’s light, fluffy, and perfect for chocolate lovers who want an easy yet indulgent treat. Garnished with crunchy chopped hazelnuts and a dollop of whipped cream, this mousse delivers rich flavor and delightful texture in every spoonful.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ounces dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1½ cups heavy cream, chilled
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup Nutella
  • Chopped hazelnuts, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it using a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Combine Nutella and chocolate: Add Nutella to the melted chocolate and stir until well combined. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.
  3. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer at medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until it becomes slightly thickened.
  4. Add sugar and whip to soft peaks: Add the powdered sugar to the cream and continue beating until soft peaks form. Save about 2 tablespoons of this whipped cream for garnish later.
  5. Mix Nutella-chocolate with whipped cream: Gently fold the Nutella and melted chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped cream. Fold carefully to keep the mousse light and fluffy without deflating it.
  6. Pipe the mousse: Transfer the mousse into a piping bag, cut off the tip, and pipe the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls.
  7. Chill to set: Refrigerate the prepared mousse for at least 1 hour so it can set properly and develop a smooth, creamy texture.
  8. Garnish and serve: Just before serving, top each mousse cup with a spoonful of the reserved whipped cream. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts and optionally some chopped chocolate on top for added crunch and flavor.
  9. Enjoy & share feedback: Don’t forget to leave a comment and rating if you try this recipe—it’s truly appreciated!

Notes

  • Use chilled heavy cream for better whipping results.
  • Be gentle when folding the whipped cream with the chocolate mixture to keep the mousse airy.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, you can spoon the mousse into glasses.
  • This mousse can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the hazelnuts garnish.
