These easy milk chocolate mousse Easter eggs might just be my favourite Easter dessert. Like ever.
If you’ve spent much time on this blog, or on my Facebook page, you’ll know what an unashamed fan I am of my chocolate mousse recipe. It’s the most viewed recipe on Sweetness and Bite, and it’s easy to see why – it uses only three ingredients, requires no eggs, and is super easy to put together.
I’ve done a white chocolate version, and a Caramilk chocolate version but up until now I hadn’t got around to trying it with milk chocolate. Easter seems the perfect time to do that though, right?
And what could make it more suited to Easter festivities than serving the mousse inside a hollow chocolate egg?!
I’m a big fan of Easter, but I have to admit it’s mostly just because of the chocolate. Not that I ever need an extra excuse to want to eat chocolate.
Feeling sad? Chocolate.
Feeling happy? Chocolate.
A day ending in ‘y’? Chocolate.
This mousse is slightly sweeter than the dark chocolate version, and as with all my other mousse recipes, I recommend using good quality chocolate to make it. We’re not adding a ton of extra flavours which means the chocolate is the star of the show, and it’s well worth making sure your star is Lady Gaga or Beyonce rather than some D-list reality TV star.
I used my favourite Whittaker’s milk chocolate, but as long as you pick a bar of chocolate that you love to eat, your mousse should taste amazing.
The number of servings you get from this mousse recipe will depend on the size of your chocolate eggs. These ones that I used were 50g hollow eggs and I filled six of them, with just a little dollop of mousse left over, which I may or may not have piped directly into my mouth #sorrynotsorry.
You could also buy smaller eggs and get more servings.
Probably the only tricky part about making this dessert is cutting the tops off the eggs. And really it’s not super tricky, it just takes a bit of patience to cut slowly and avoid cracking the egg. Warming your knife with hot water will help the knife cut more easily through the chocolate.
Super important tip – make sure you cut a hole big enough to fit a spoon in. Unless you plan to shove a whole mousse filled egg into your mouth, in which case, by all means, be my guest.
So simple to make, these Easy Milk Chocolate Mousse Easter Eggs are the perfect Easter dessert! Only 3 ingredients and no eggs - except the chocolate ones! The number of servings you get will depend on the size of your chocolate eggs. I used six 50g hollow eggs, but you could use smaller mini hollow eggs to get more servings. *The cream you need for this known by different names in different countries. In NZ it’s called standard cream or whipping cream, in other countries it may also be known as heavy cream, single cream or full cream. Long story short: you need a pourable, un-whipped cream that is around 35% fat. It will usually say on the bottle/carton that it is suitable for whipping.Easy Milk Chocolate Mousse Easter Eggs
