Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mousse

3 Ingredient Mousse that makes a Heavenly, Showstopping Dessert – Chocolate Orange Mousse is my new favourite treat!
So, recently I posted my No-Churn Terry’s Chocolate Orange Ice Cream, and my Creme Egg Chocolate Mousse. In both posts I show that a simple recipe for a N0-Churn Icecream, makes an amazing mousse! Combining the Cream, Condensed Milk, and Chocolate or choice and whipping it together makes a delicious treat. I decided to post this as a new recipe anyway, so that people can find it and making it without having to read an ice-cream post!
Honestly, its so damn delicious. I honestly question why I have never tried it before! The recipe takes care of itself… the sweetness from the condensed milk also takes care of the sugar you need. It gives the recipe thickness as well. The cream is the necessary dairy part, to make the mousse or the ice cream version. Using some melted down Terry’s Chocolate Orange and then whipping the mixture together makes it the best thing EVER.
I’ve actually made this into a delicious dessert by using my Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cookie Bars, and topping it with this mousse. It makes like a trifle of sorts, with some whipped cream added on top is ideal. I decided to top these mousses with cream as well because you all know I love it… and it makes it look that little bit better!
I used some Mixer glasses, and some little glass ramekins for mine. You can use anything you like! Honestly, switch it up if you want… I just thought I would post the basics and you can switch it up and change to your favourite flavour! I made double the batch as I was taking some to a dinner, so there are a few more in my pictures. Enjoy! X
Terry's Chocolate Orange Mousse!
Ingredients
Mousse
- 450 ml Double Cream
- 200 g Condensed Milk
- 225 g Terry's Chocolate Orange
Topping
- 150 ml Double Cream
- 2 tbsp Icing Sugar
- Terry's Chocolate Orange Segments
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Chop the 225g of Terry’s Chocolate Orange up into small chunks and melt carefully in the microwave, or in a large glass bowl over a pan of simmering water. Let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the Melted Chocolate, Cream, and Condensed Milk into your mixing bowl and whisk until a thick mousse like texture is formed, and it holds itself! If you over whisk, it might split so be careful!
- Pipe/Spoon the Mousse into some Mixer Glasses, and leave to set in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
- Once set, whisk together the extra double cream, and the icing sugar. Pipe onto the mousses using a 2D Closed Star Piping Tip. Once piped, add some sprinkles, and some extra Terry’s Segments to the top.
Notes
- You can use any flavour chocolate you want instead – you don’t even have to use Terry’s Chocolate Orange.. you could use the Lindt version instead. Or, you can use Dark Chocolate in this recipe instead of Milk, but I wouldn’t advise using White as it would be far too sweet!
- These will last in the fridge for 2-3 days, but are delicious when freshly set. Even the mixture is delicious!
- You could add in some extra orange if you wanted, but I like it the way it is. You can also fold through some chopped up chocolate as well for texture, but they’re moussey and delicious the way they are!
- If you find its not whipping up, the chocolate was probably too hot still.
- You can whip the double cream and condensed milk together till thick if you want, and then fold through the melted chocolate for an alternate method.
ENJOY!

hi i cant use condensed milk is there an alternative for this as i really want to try this recipe but wasnt sure what to use instead
can I use Nutella instead of Terrys chocolate orange?
Hi Jane
I’m thinking of using this and turning it into a cheesecake/mousse cake. Does the mousse set firm enough to be used like this?
Thank you!
Not always – it would be much much better to just follow my chocolate orange tart recipe x
Hi Jane,
I LOVE this recipe and have made it LOADS! But as an additional Christmas dessert, can this be frozen and thawed on the day? I’ve never frozen a mousse which I’m sure would freeze but unsure of the thawed result… thank you so much!
This mixture is the same as a no-churn ice cream mix, so it does freeze very well, but it may not have quite the same texture when thawed if that makes sense! X
Hi Jane
I made this but it split. I live in Australia and bought double cream as in recipe. However it was super think already. When i whisked it, after a few seconds it split.
Do you know if I used the wrong cream (call it something different here)? We have one called thickened cream that u use to serve with deserts etc. Would that be better?
Tasted yummy thou! Def want to make again.
Thank you
It may be the cream, or the chocolate was too hot. As the cream is different it may be best to whip it separately just to make sure and then fold everything together instead x
Hi Jane, firstly this recipe is amazing! Made it last week and my partner and I both had a mousse every day 🤤😂 I’m wanting to make a mint version, so maybe after eight or something instead of the orange. What ingredients would you recommend, would I just use dark chocolate instead of Terry’s chocolate and add in some mint extract ? Thank you 🙂 xx
Yesss I would do exactly that!! xx
Fab! Thank you Jane 🙂 xx
I made a after eight version recently using this recipe as a base. I use regular chocolate and added a drop of peppermint extract, it was delicious its just about getting the right amount of peppermint so its not over powering or too weak to notice. X
Does the calorie count include the topping?
It’s automatically calculated based on the recipe and servings, but is only an estimate so can vary.
Hi Jane can this be frozen and then defrosted 2 weeks later to pipe into mousse pots? Also how long would they last once out the fridge at room temp? Thank you!xx
There is a risk in doing it that way as you would have to re-mix the mixture, but it can freeze (it makes ice cream) x
Absolutely delicious, thank you! The mousse only needed to be mixed for a couple of minutes so maybe that’s where some of the below people have gone wrong. So quick and easy to make and tastes amazing!
I’ve made this recipe about 10 times now and everyone absolutely loves it!! I’m trying to buy some little disposable cups to serve my next batch in- do you know roughly how many ml it is per serving?
Thanks 🙂
I’m afraid not, sorry – you can change how much you put in a serving quite easily to suit whatever x
Just made this today. Sooo good!! Although I did have to stop myself from constantly licking the mix!
I used your second method and whipped the cream and milk together first and then added in the melted chocolate and whisked for a little bit longer to mix it together. I made a bit of an error and only bought 1 Terry’s orange which wasn’t enough chocolate but still tasted amazing. I wonder what it would be like with 1/2 and 1/2 of normal chocolate orange and dark chocolate orange. Definitely going to try that!
What a amazing recipe so easy to do and tastes delicious I use a mixture of both methods that you stated I whipped the condensed milk and double cream for a bit 1st till the choclate was slightly warm to the touch then added that and continued whisking till thick and seemed to work a treat, thank you for posting this for us all to try out xx
Hi, firstly can I say how much I love your recipes! They are amazing! Especially your brownies recipe, a form favourite of the family. Also do you think I could use kinder chocolate instead of choc orange for the mousse?
Hi Jane,
Did you use sweetened or unsweetened condensed milk?
Deb
Sweetened – in the UK we can only really buy sweetened! We have evaporated milk here which I think is the equivalent to unsweetened and it’s far too thin!
This mousse tastes and looks amazing- I added a pack of soft cheese to the mixture and used melted choc aero orange mixing in at the end – finished decorating with Terry’s orange my grandchildren will love it 😀
