    No gelatin, just pure chocolate indulgence when you are hit with sudden sweet cravings.

    Check out my two ingredient chocolate mousse recipe and eggless mango pudding recipe.

    • Recipe card

    I wanted to try this chocolate mousse recipe without egg or gelatine, and at last tried with agar agar(china grass) as substitute for gelatine.

    This is the first time I am handling agar agar. This recipe is great for get together/potluck or serve it to please your guests.

    You can make it in advance and so need not worry about dessert part. For past two days I was craving for something chocolaty and thought of buying brownie from my favourite shop.

    But after I tried this, this was perfect for me to enjoy. This is my 250th post too, so this is a celebration post!

    Method

    1. Take ¾ cup of water in a pan and sprinkle the agar agar in it. Keep a side (20-30 mins) I used agar agar powder,so it dissolved easily.
      agar agar
    2. Meanwhile dissolve cocoa powder and corn flour in ¼ cup of lukewarm milk. Boil rest of the milk with sugar.
      boil
    3. Add the coco-corn flour mixture to the boiling milk with continuous stirring. Boil for 2-3 minutes with constant stirring.
      stir
    4. Heat the agar agar dissolved water and bring to boil. It will be thickened and like a transparent jelly like thing. Add it to the chocolate mixture and mix continuously. Switch off the flame and keep stirring until its almost cooled down. (Stirring is to avoid formation of a layer while cooling down).
      chocolate
    5. Mix in the cream(I whipped the cream a bit in a blender with the whipper blade) and vanilla essence.Stir well.
      cream
    6. Refrigerate this mixture to get the perfect set chocolate mousse. I did this by placing the mixture in freezer for approx 20 minutes (Don’t let it set for more time,).
    7. Or you can also pour the mixture directly to the mousse moulds that you are going to serve and set it as such in the fridge(not in freezer) until serving time.

    Top it while serving with cocoa powder sprinkled on top with some chocolate shavings or with some whipped cream, sprinkle some sugar on top or add some choco sauce. It's your choice. Yumm!

    Eggless chocolate mousse recipe without gelatin, vegetarian friendly recipe. Let's see how to make this dessert with easy stepwise images.
    Course Dessert
    Cuisine Global
    Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
    Cook Time 20 minutes minutes
    Resting time 26 minutes minutes
    Servings 6 servings
    Cup measurements

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups Milk
    • 1.5 tablespoon Cocoa powder
    • 1.25 tablespoon Corn flour corn starch
    • ¼ cup Sugar
    • Dark chocolate optional for garnish
    • 2 teaspoon Agar agar china grass powder
    • ¾ cup Heavy cream
    • ½ teaspoon Vanilla essence
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Take ¾ cup of water in a pan and sprinkle the agar agar in it. Keep a side (20-30 mins) I used agar agar powder, so it dissolved easily.
    • Meanwhile dissolve cocoa powder and corn flour in ¼ cup of lukewarm milk. Boil rest of the milk with sugar.
    • Add the coco-corn flour mixture to the boiling milk with continuous stirring. Boil for 2-3 minutes with constant stirring.
    • Heat the agar agar dissolved water and bring to boil. It will be thickened and like a transparent jelly like thing.
    • Add it to the chocolate mixture and mix continuously. Switch off the flame and keep stirring until it's almost cooled down. (Stirring is to avoid formation of a layer while cooling down).
    • Mix in the cream and vanilla essence. Stir well.
    • Refrigerate this mixture to get the perfect set chocolate mousse. I did this by placing the mixture in freezer for approx 20 minutes (Don’t let it set for more time)
    • Or you can also pour the mixture directly to the mousse moulds that you are going to serve and set it as such in the fridge (not in freezer) until serving time.

    Notes

    • I had few dark chocolates, so added it while boiling the chocolate mixture. Even if you omit adding it wont make any big difference.
    • After you set the mousse, the texture is so soft and light.
    • If you are sweet toothed, add 1 or 2 more tablespoon of sugar.
