Key Ingredients
2
Servings
For the Recipe
- Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate – 2/3 cup
- Fresh cream - 2/5 cup
- Finely chopped walnuts – ¼ cup
- Coarsely chopped walnuts for final garnish – a few
How to Make

Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method, and add the fresh cream to the melted chocolate and stir till the chocolate and the cream are mixed and the texture is smooth with no lumps.

Once it has cooled down, whip the ganache using a hand-held blender until smooth, add the finely chopped walnut pieces, and fold them into the whipped ganache.

Pipe this mixture into your favorite glass or cup and garnish with coarsely chopped walnuts on top.
Why Walnuts Elevate Classic Chocolate Mousse
Walnuts have an earthy, nutty flavour and a delicate crunch, which contrasts perfectly with the silky chocolate mousse. The silky, rich texture of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate is complemented by the walnuts' natural nuttiness. This pairing makes every spoonful indulgent and flavorful.
Pro Tips for a Light, Airy Mousse
- Before whipping the ganache, allow it to cool down to achieve a smooth, mousse-like consistency.
- Avoid over-whipping the mixture, as it will make the mousse dense.
- To maintain the light texture of the whipped ganache, fold the chopped walnuts gently.
- Make sure that the walnuts are finely chopped so their texture does not overpower the chocolate; instead, it complements the mousse.
How to Store Your Chocolate Walnut Mousse
Store the Chocolate Walnut Mousse in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2- 3 days. Garnish it with walnuts before serving to maintain the crunch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other nuts instead of walnuts? 
Yes, you can use other nuts instead of walnuts, but this will slightly change the flavor and texture of the Mousse.
Why did my mousse turn out too dense? 
Mousse can become dense if the ganache is whipped too vigorously or if the walnuts are folded too vigorously. Let the ganache cool down, and then whip and gently fold the walnuts.
Can I make this mousse eggless? 
Yes, this recipe is already eggless.
How long does this mousse stay fresh? 
Chocolate walnut mousse can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days.
