Description

Delight in these luscious No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cups—a creamy, airy dessert combining rich dark chocolate, fresh raspberries, and smooth cream cheese. Perfectly chilled, these elegant mousse cups are easy to prepare without baking, making them an ideal treat for chocolate and berry lovers alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Mixture

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (to enhance raspberry flavor)

Mousse Base

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Raspberries: Wash the fresh raspberries under cold running water, then drain thoroughly. Reserve about 1/4 of the raspberries for garnish and set them aside.
  2. Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat to maintain a smooth texture.
  3. Combine Cream Cheese and Sugar: In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, using either a mixer or whisk for a thorough blend.
  4. Add Flavorings: Stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, melted dark chocolate chips, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula to preserve the mousse’s airy texture. Continue folding until the mixture is homogenous with no white streaks.
  6. Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold the reserved raspberries into the mousse mixture to distribute the fruit evenly without breaking them up too much.
  7. Fill Serving Cups: Spoon or pipe the mousse into dessert cups or glasses until about 3/4 full, leaving room for garnishing.
  8. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each mousse cup with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired for an elegant presentation.

Notes

  • Do not overwhip the cream to ensure the mousse maintains a light and airy texture.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother mousse.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips.
  • The lemon juice enhances the raspberry’s natural brightness but can be omitted if preferred.
  • This dessert can be prepared up to a day in advance for convenience.
  • Gently folding is key to preserving the mousse’s fluffiness.
