What is chocolate fluff?
Chocolate fluff is essentially chocolate mousse. Mousse is a dish that originated in France and is traditionally served as a dessert. It’s made into a fluffy and smooth texture by whipping egg white, cream, chocolate, sugar, and other flavorings together.
And it’s usually served chilled.
In the recipe below, I have simplified it a bit and have removed the need for the egg, without sacrificing the texture.
Tips on How to Make the Perfect Fluff / Mousse
If this is your first time making this fluff/ mousse or your 20th, the tips below will help you whip up the perfect fluffy textured, egg-free mousse- in a jiffy!
Let’s start.
1. Don’t overwhip.
The amount of whip you add to your cream will either make or break your mousse. If you don’t whip it enough, it will runny and soupy, if you whip it too much and it will start to separate and take on a grainy texture.
It is as important to know when to continue as it is when to stop.
The secret to attaining the perfect consistency mousse is to whip it until peaks form and then stop.
If you do over whip, hope is not lost! To fix grainy mouse, just add in a few tablespoons of fresh (chilled) cream and re-whip. Your cream will start to come together again.
2. Work with chilled ingredients
Working with chilled ingredients will really help give the mousse it’s fluffy and velvety texture. To yield the best results make sure your ingredients have been chilled for a minimum of 24 hours before you make it.
Take them straight out of the fridge and make your mousse without too much delay.
3. Chill your bowl
Working with a chilled bowl along with chilled ingredients will yield even fluffier mousse.
If you’re not able to chill your bowl for 24 hours, just pop it into the freezer for 30 minutes and you’re golden!
4. Use Heavy Whipping Cream
It might be confusing which cream to use when making whipping cream. To make mousse that has the best texture, use heavy whipping cream.
Heavy whipping cream has a higher fat content compared to the other creams, which is needed for the mousse to get a firm set.
5. Refrigerate the leftovers (if you have any!)
If you haven’t gobbled down every last inch of your mousse, you can save your leftovers in the fridge. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in your fridge- and it should stay set.
