Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

200g Toblerone chocolate (milk or dark, depending on your preference)
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water (optional, to melt the chocolate)
1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional, for garnish)
Extra Toblerone pieces, grated (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Melt the Toblerone: Break the Toblerone chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. If you prefer a smoother consistency, add 1 tablespoon of water to the chocolate as it melts.
Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want the cream to remain soft and fluffy.
Combine Chocolate and Cream: Once the chocolate has melted and cooled slightly, gently fold it into the whipped cream with a spatula. Stir in the vanilla extract and continue folding until fully combined and smooth.
Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. The mousse should be firm but light and airy.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the mousse with chopped almonds, grated Toblerone, or extra chocolate pieces for added texture and decoration. Serve chilled and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I make this mousse ahead of time?

Yes, the mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It actually gets even better after a few hours of chilling as the flavors meld together.

Can I use a different chocolate for this mousse?

Yes! If you don’t have Toblerone, you can use any high-quality milk or dark chocolate. However, the unique honey and almond flavors of Toblerone are what give this mousse its distinct taste.

How do I make the mousse thicker?

If you’d like a thicker mousse, you can use a bit less heavy cream or add a small amount of melted white chocolate or gelatin to help the mousse set more firmly. However, the recipe as written should result in a creamy, velvety texture.

Can I make this mousse without heavy cream?

For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with whipped coconut cream or another non-dairy alternative. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly.
