The best part about this fabulous dessert? You can make it ahead of time and get your prep out of the way days in advance just like with our Strawberry Chocolate Mousse.
Serving Glasses For Raspberry Chocolate Mousse
The choice of serving glasses is important for this recipe. We used 15-ounce stemless wine glasses, which are about 1 3/4 cups and makes 3-4 large servings.
Some of you said you prefer small servings, and you can definitely use 9-ounce glasses to get 7-8 servings or 5-ounce glasses for 10-12 servings. Just beware you’ll need extra muffin tins to hold the additional glasses for pouring.
How to Make Raspberry Chocolate Mousse
The raspberry layer is made first and allowed to set in the fridge while you make the chocolate layer. While there’s only about 30 minutes of total prep time, count on several hours of chilling time.
Start by making raspberry jello by combining raspberry jello powder and boiling water in a mixing bowl. You want to stir slowly for a few minutes to ensure it’s completely dissolved.
The jello is ready when it’s soft setting, meaning there are streaks when you run a spoon through it, typically after an hour or so. Add whipped cream or Cool Whip and whisk together until smoothly combined:
The resulting mixture should be thick, but pourable. Set the stemless wine glasses on the diagonal in a muffin pan, stabilizing with a kitchen towel or paper cups underneath. Then fill to within a 1/4 inch of the rim:
Once the glasses are filled, you want to slowly life up the muffin pan and transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least two hours.
While the raspberry mousse is chilling, you can start making the chocolate mousse layer. Whisk together half and half milk, gelatin, water, cocoa powder and sugar. Then heat until barely boiling to activate the gelatin before allowing it to cool.
Place the glasses on a flat work surface and then pour in the chocolate mixture to cover:
Once the chocolate is in, place the glasses back into the fridge for at least two hours to allow the chocolate mousse set.
Garnish with raspberries and baby mint sprigs, and you’re ready to serve.
Note you can also store the finished dessert for several days in the fridge covered in plastic wrap, and then serve for an easy make ahead dessert.
