This is such an easy 3 Ingredient Mousse Recipe, and we embellished it with red and pink Valentine's Day sprinkles to make it a Quick Valentine's Day dessert idea this time around!

Chocolate chips -I like GHIRARDELLI Semi-Sweet Chocolate Premium Baking Chips because they have a high quality cocoa butter, whole milk powder and vanilla extract for the perfect flavor in baked goods.
Heavy whipping cream - If you don't normally keep heavy whipping cream in your fridge, you really should! Heavy whipping cream is useful in so many recipes! I use it for everything from making homemade whipped cream to adding it to my scrambled eggs and quiches, like our delicious Southwest Quiche.
Valentine sprinkles and candy hearts
