This Simple Chocolate Mousse only requires 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep. It’s so easy and completely luscious!

This recipe was developed by me for Safeway whom I have an ongoing relationship with. All opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for helping to support the brands that I love and make Belly Full possible!

When Paul and I first started dating, he sort of laid his cards on the table immediately and told me that he’s not a chocolate, flower, or card giver.

Ok, fair enough. Lucky for him, those things weren’t at all deal breakers for me.

I told him that I need the toilet seat down, kitchen sink sponge rung out, and a phone call if he’s running late (a phone call! That shows our age, huh?)

Done.

Almost 15 years later, I can tell you I have not missed receiving candy, flowers, or cards. He makes up for it 1,000 fold by doing everything else. Literally.

He does the laundry, vacuums, he cleans the bathrooms, he’s my plumber, electrician, builder, and never once has he forgotten to call if he’s going to be out later than expected with the guys. He is a hands-on father, and never complains. And everyone knows how much he makes me laugh. I would curl up and die without him, I’m so incredibly spoiled. He’s amazing.

BUT, I do love chocolate, and flowers, and cards. I’m not crazy! So, you know what? I simply buy them for myself!

We don’t really exchange gifts or go out to dinner for Valentine’s Day, but I love to make it fun for the kids.

Safeway’s exclusive debi lilly design™ collection has everything you need to make Valentine’s Day lovely and fun! There are so many cute items to choose from like vases, candles, teddy bears, and gorgeous pre-arranged flower bouquets that are ready to “chop & drop” – just simply cut the stems to length and drop them right into a beautiful debi lilly design vase.

Aren’t these vases adorable? They come in several different colors, are light weight, but very sturdy. Great quality and so affordable that you could easily decorate a few rooms in your house. And if you don’t want to refill them with more flowers, use them to hold colored pencils!

The debi lilly design collection has wonderful, on trend products that are perfect for entertaining any time of year, not just limited to Valentine’s Day.

Now what would Cupid’s Day be without chocolate? Sad, I say! So, in addition to filling the rooms with whimsical containers, I’m whipping up this simple chocolate mousse, and you should, too. Everyone will love you forever. It’s sublime.

I buy my recipe ingredients and debi lilly design products at my local Safeway store, but you can also find them at all the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaws, Star Market, United Express, United Supermarkets and Carrs/Safeway.

    Made this tonight for company. Did not have whole milk, so used 1/4 cup 2% milk and 1/4 cup Irish Creme! Turned out great! Just enough for 4 adults to have a light dessert after dinner. Thanks for the easy great recipe.

    Could you aliquot the mousse into cupcake wrappers in a cupcake pan to set, or would that be too messy? Really excited to try this recipe, but I want to make it for a large group/don’t have enough small cups.

      I wouldn’t recommend that. The mixture is too wet and loose until solidified.

      They do have the little plastic cupcake cups at Walmart I think.

    Can I use 2% milk instead of whole milk to make the chocolate mousse? It does look really good by the way!!

      Hi Kelly – for optimal results, you need whole milk which provides the full fat in order for this to set properly.

    Sub the chocolate chips for sugar free ones, the sugar for Swerve, most of the milk for whipping cream and it’s now Keto, low carb……

    I tried this recipe to the letter. But it did not set. Is there a way to salvage it?

      Sorry to hear that, Patty. I’ve made this more times than I can count and never have any issues.

        Amy before you add the heavy cream mixture, do you let the chocolate chips mixture cool off?

          By the time they’ve melted and you’ve made your whipped cream, which is about 4-5 minutes later, the chocolate has already cooled enough.

            I thought I read all the comments. Bummer. Mine failed too. Cooling the chocolate is an important step hhahaha. The “melted chocolate” got me. Trial 2 this morning! I can do this!

    I don’t know why but I have never made chocolate mousse and I love it! Especially Mexican with a little cinnamon and chile powder. I have everything on hand so I foresee some mousse in my future this weekend.

    Hey, I’d go for the laundry over cards any day! I’d still like to know how Paul gets his shirts so white.

    Happy Groundhog Day!

  • Happy Valentine's Day, gang! Do you do anything special? At the risk of offending anyone - I think this holiday is sort of dumb 🙈 BUT I'm also super lucky that I have a husband who spoils me all year long. I wish that for everyone! On the other hand...any excuse to eat chocolate and powdered sugar.
.
It's been raining here, so it only makes sense that I make my homemade marshmallows. For the kids, of course. *cough* Rich and creamy and nothing like anything you'll buy at the store. Shaping them into hearts is optional, of course. But not on Valentine's Day! I think it's the law.

  • Nothing says "I love You" like fish, right? 😂 But honestly, I would love it if someone served this to me tomorrow! It's so so delicious. First time I made it, Paul barely came up for air between bites.

Beautiful fresh salmon fillets are stuffed with a creamy wild rice herb and crab mixture. The rice and crab mixture alone is amazing. Easy enough for a weeknight meal and elegant enough for a nice Valentine's Day dinner!
