I’m so glad I live in the era of flavored coffee creamer.
Is that lame to say?! I’m sure that there are a whole bunch of you that agree with me!
The recipe I’m sharing today is something that’s been in my bag of tricks for a while. I used the same method in this chocolate peppermint mousse recipe. I’ll be making that recipe again this holiday season!
I wanted to show you guys how you can use any flavor coffee creamer to make 3 ingredient mousse!
You’ll need chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white), heavy cream, and then your choice of coffee creamer.
Let’s give a brief overview of the recipe:
-chill a metal mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for 15 minutes
Side note: You’re wondering if this step is necessary. I have made mousse and whipped cream by sort of chilling the bowl ahead of time.. meaning last minute I stick it in the freezer or I pull it out of the freezer too early and by the time I actually whip the cream, the bowl isn’t chilled anymore.
Here’s what I’ve observed – chilling the bowl and beaters ahead of time produces mousse and whipped cream that has stiffer peaks (that’s a fancy way of saying it’s more stable).
I do recommend chilling these items ahead of time, but if you completely forget, putting them in the freezer for at least 5 minutes is better than nothing.
-melt the chocolate (I like to do this on the stove, over low heat with a tad bit of vegetable oil mixed into the chocolate to help aid the melting process)
-allow the chocolate to come to room temperature
-beat the heavy cream and coffee creamer for about 5 minutes
-add in the melted chocolate
-beat the mixture again, 2-4 minutes until stiff peaks form
-divide the mousse into bowls and place them in the fridge for a MINIMUM of 1 hour. Better is longer. The longer the mousse sets in the fridge, the less “pudding” like it will be and the more mousse like it will become
I used International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer in one batch of mousse and International Delight Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge creamer in a second batch of mousse. I topped the pumpkin mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs and topped the salted caramel mousse with caramel sauce, sea salt and chocolate shavings. They were both amazing and had great flavor!

3 Ingredient Mousse using Coffee Creamer
Ingredients
- ½ cup chocolate chips, milk, dark or white – depends on the flavor you want!
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- ¼ cup coffee creamer, pick your favorite flavor!
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place a metal mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- In a small pot over low heat on the stove, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil, stirring occasionally with a spatula until melted. Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature
- Remove the chilled mixing bowl and beaters from the freezer. Add the coffee creamer and heavy cream, beat for 5 minutes until soft peaks form.
- Add the melted chocolate into the bowl, beat the mixture for 2-4 more minutes, or until stiff peaks form and the mixture becomes more mousse like and airy.
- Divide the mousse into smaller serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but the longer the better. The longer the mousse sets in the fridge, the less “pudding” like it will be and the more mousse like it will become
