Preparation

Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a deep bowl.
Heat 70 g of cream until it just begins to boil. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Set aside to cool.

In another bowl, briefly whisk the mascarpone until smooth and creamy. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and gently fold until well combined and homogenous.

Whip the remaining cream and carefully fold it into the chocolate–mascarpone mixture. Divide the mousse into small dessert glasses or bowls. Serve with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and raspberries.

 

Tip

The mousse can be enjoyed immediately after preparation.
If you prefer to make it in advance, store it in the refrigerator without the whipped cream and decoration. Remove from the fridge about 20 minutes before serving, then top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and raspberries before serving.
