This crunchy, light and deliciously rich Toblerone Mousse is simple to whip up and quite possibly the best chocolate mousse going around! With just 5 ingredients, it’s so quick and easy to make into individual mousses, or as a centrepiece dessert. Either way, top it with extra whipped cream and lots of chocolate shavings.
Toblerone Mousse is the dessert most requested in my house and is number one on our Christmas dessert list. Seriously, if I didn’t make it for Christmas, my family would disown me! And, as with so many of my favourite recipes, this one was given to me by my sister Helen. I just added a little extra chocolate (as I do!) and it quickly became a family favourite dessert.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR TOBLERONE MOUSSE
So I said there was only 5 ingredients and guess what? Two of them are chocolate! To make this crunchy Toblerone Mousse, you’ll need:
- Toblerone I guess that’s a no-brainer!
- Dark Chocolate I love how it gives this mousse extra depth of flavour
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs separated
- Cream
Super simple ingredients that you’ll most likely have on hand (except for the Toblerone -that stuff is gone as soon as it enters my house!).
WHY MY FAMILY RATE THIS AS THEIR FAVOURITE DESSERT
- It’s super light and fluffy and oh so chocolatey
- There’s little nuggets of nougat crunchiness.
- You make it the day before you serve it, meaning less hassle on the day.
- It looks gorgeous served in little glass jars and makes the perfect individual dessert
- Or you can serve it in one bowl and let your guests help themselves (and watch them heap spoonfuls into their bowls!).
4 SIMPLE STEPS TO MAKE TOBLERONE MOUSSE
- Melt the chocolate in a saucepan, then stir in the butter.
- Stir through the egg yolks, then allow mixture to cool.
- Whip the cream and whisk the egg whites.
- Fold the egg whites and cream into the chocolate mixture, then pour into a glass bowl or jars.
USING RAW EGGS IN DESSERTS
I have been making this Toblerone Mousse for over 20 years. I know some people feel funny about using raw eggs in desserts (like in an authentic Tiramisu), but eggs in Australia are very safe. However, if you’re not sure about consuming raw eggs, please read this article from Australian Eggs. They recommend using an egg separator, rather than separating with the shells. And of course, people who are pregnant or immunocompromised should avoid consuming raw eggs. That being said, I’ve never had an issue with this mousse….and I’ve made it more times than I care to remember!
I hope you enjoy making my Toblerone Mousse. It’s seriously one of the best (and easiest) desserts going around! And if you serve it on your Christmas dessert table, you’re going to win some major brownie points. But be warned, you’ll be on dessert duties everywhere you go!
