How to Make Mini Chocolate Mousse Cups: 3 Ingredient Recipe

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!

However, you can make this sweet treat without the sprinkles, or use regular rainbow colored sprinkles and make it any time of year!

I love coming up with simple dessert ideas that be made quickly and easily with things you usually already have in the fridge, like our ever popular Easy M&Ms Sugar Cookie Bars! There is just something to be said for being able to make a quick sweet treat when the craving strikes!

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.

Pure Vanilla Extract

Valentine sprinkles and candy hearts
