1. Chocolate Mousse
One of my all-time favorite chocolate desserts is Chocolate Mousse. Not only is it light and fluffy, but it’s incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. All you need is heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
To make, whip the heavy cream until it’s thick and fluffy. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cocoa powder. Slowly add the cocoa mixture to the whipped cream, along with the vanilla extract, and continue to whip until combined. Transfer the mousse to individual serving dishes and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
2. Chocolate Pudding
Chocolate pudding is another easy recipe that’s perfect for those hot summer days. All you need is milk, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan. Slowly add the milk and whisk until combined. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into serving dishes and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Top with whipped cream or strawberries for an extra sweet treat.
3. Chocolate Truffles
If you’re looking for a decadent chocolate dessert that’s also easy to make, try Chocolate Truffles. All you need is chocolate chips, heavy cream, and your favorite toppings, like coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it’s simmering. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool before rolling into balls and coating with your desired toppings. Chill the truffles in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
4. Chocolate Ice Cream
Who doesn’t love ice cream, especially when it’s chocolate? You can easily make your own Chocolate Ice Cream with just a few ingredients: heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until combined. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least two hours, or until firm. Scoop and enjoy as is, or top with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
In conclusion, whether you’re looking for a quick and easy dessert for yourself or want to impress guests at a party, these cold chocolate desserts are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. With no oven required, they’re also perfect for those hot summer months when turning on the oven feels impossible!
