Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries + extra for garnish

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for crust)

2 tablespoons melted butter

Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of small dessert cups or ramekins to create an even layer. Set aside.

    Melt the chocolate: Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it using a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.

      Whip the cream: In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

        Combine ingredients: In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and melted chocolate together until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream in thirds, being careful to maintain the airy texture. Add in the unsweetened cocoa powder and fold until all ingredients are well combined.

          Add raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, careful not to break them apart too much. This will add sweetness and a beautiful red hue to the mousse.

            Assemble the cups: Spoon the raspberry chocolate mousse mixture over the prepared graham cracker crusts in the dessert cups, evenly distributing it. Tap the cups gently on the counter to settle the mousse, then cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

              Garnish and serve: Once set, remove the cups from the refrigerator, and garnish with extra fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and mint leaves if using. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful treat that’s sure to impress!
