🍫 Key Ingredients

All you need are five simple ingredients to make a Toblerone Mousse —plus a little patience while it chills!

• Toblerone chocolate – for that signature flavour and nougat crunch.

• Dark chocolate – balances the sweetness and adds depth.

• Unsalted butter – smooths out the mix.

• Eggs (separated) – for structure and lightness.

• Thickened cream – makes it dreamy and mousse-y.

🍯 Variations & Substitutions

• Milk chocolate with the Toblerone works just as well for a sweeter twist.

• Add liqueur – a splash of Baileys or Cointreau for adults-only mousse.

• Top with berries – raspberries, strawberries or cherries balance the richness.

• Make it dairy-free – use plant-based cream and a vegan dark chocolate (note: Toblerone itself contains dairy).

 

🥣 How to Make Toblerone Mousse (Step-by-Step)

This Toblerone Mousse with raw eggs is a classic, European-style mousse—light, airy, and no gelatin needed.

1. Melt the chocolate

Place the Toblerone and dark chocolate in a saucepan and gently melt over low heat, stirring until smooth.

2. Add butter and egg yolks

Stir in the butter until melted. Add egg yolks one at a time and mix until smooth. Cool completely.

3. Whip cream & egg whites

While the chocolate cools:

• Whip the cream until soft peaks form.

• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.

4. Fold everything together

Fold some cream into the chocolate mix to loosen it. Then alternate folding in the rest of the cream and egg whites until combined.

5. Chill

Spoon or pipe into jars or a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight, especially if it's in one big bowl).

👩🏼‍🍳 Expert Baking Tips

• Cool is key: Let the chocolate mixture cool completely before folding in cream or egg whites.

• Be gentle when folding: Use a rubber spatula and a light hand to keep it airy.

• Chill overnight for the best flavour and texture.

I often make this mousse the night before a party, which saves me loads of time on the day (and makes me feel like I’ve got my life together).

🫙 Storage Suggestions

• Fridge: Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Freezer: Not recommended—chocolate mousse tends to split and go grainy when frozen.

• Make-ahead: Best made 24 hours ahead for peak flavour and fluff factor.

🍽️ Serve With

• Other Favourite Christmas desserts like my Mini Pavlovas

• Top it with Chantilly Cream and chocolate shavings

• Fruit platters – strawberries and orange slices work beautifully

• Espresso or liqueur – for an elegant grown-up dessert
