Baking season is here, and while most holiday treats are delicious, they also tend to be time-consuming, sugar-heavy and anything but light. Between cookies, cakes and endless trays of candy, it can feel nearly impossible to find a dessert that’s both satisfying and easy to make. For anyone trying to avoid spending another hour preheating, mixing and washing dishes, quick desserts become absolute gold.That’s why this two-ingredient chocolate mousse stopped me in my tracks.I saw it shared by content creator Paddy Watts (who found the recipe via Carmen Iri), and the simplicity alone made me pause. Chocolate and canned peaches are the only two ingredients? No oven? And ready with almost zero prep? It almost sounded too good to be true. But the reaction online suggested it might actually live up to the hype.What makes this dessert so appealing is that it delivers the richness of chocolate mousse without the effort or the added ingredients that typically make mousse a once-in-a-while indulgence. Instead, this version uses blended peaches for sweetness and texture, creating a surprisingly velvety result.If you’re looking for a dessert that satisfies your chocolate craving and doesn’t require baking, this might be your new go-to. Read on to find out how the recipe worked in my kitchen.Related: The Popular $150 Chocolate Cake Recipe That's Worth Every Penny
What You Need for This Two-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

This dessert is wonderfully simple—all you need is chocolate and drained canned peaches. Dark chocolate is ideal for both flavor and texture, but semisweet works if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
Because there are so few components, quality matters. Choose peaches that taste good on their own and chocolate that you’d be happy to snack on straight from the package.

You will also need a parchment-lined loaf pan, and chocolate shavings or chocolate chips for the top, if you want a little extra garnish. Related: We Baked Cookies With 13 Different Chocolate Chip Brands and The Winner Shocked Us

The process is shockingly easy, especially for a dessert that looks and feels so decadent. Start by melting the chocolate and draining the peaches. Then, add both the peaches and the melted chocolate to a blender and blend well.

Pour the mixture into the parchment-lined loaf pan. The parchment ensures the finished mousse lifts out cleanly without sticking.
If you want an extra layer of richness, drizzle shaved chocolate or chocolate chips over the top. Otherwise, simply transfer the pan to the refrigerator and let the mixture set for two to four hours.
Once firm, slice it like cake, scoop it like mousse or simply dig in with a spoon.

Two-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse Recipe Review: My Honest Thoughts
This dessert is shockingly good for how little effort it requires. It’s rich, chocolatey and slightly fruity, delivering on both flavor and convenience. For anyone trying to add in fast and easy recipes during baking season, it’s absolutely worth making.

One thing I will note is that the creator's video made this dessert look closer to a fudge texture, but mine ended up more like a mousse texture.
I tried this dessert using both melted chocolate and chocolate melting wafers. Both times it ended up like a mousse, but the whole wafers made it thicker and gave it more of a gritty texture, though the texture wasn't unpleasant. It also had a stronger chocolate flavor. Overall, both versions were delicious!

5 Tips for Making This Chocolate Mousse

After making this recipe a couple of times, I have a few tips and tricks for helping you make the best version of this dessert.
First, make sure your peaches are well-drained. Extra liquid can prevent the mousse from setting properly, leading to a looser texture.

2. Baby your chocolate
When melting chocolate, avoid overheating it. Chocolate can seize if microwaved too long, so shorter bursts with stirring between each is the safest method. You want the chocolate just to be melted. If you have a few chocolate pieces left in the bowl, that's OK. Just stir the mixture and the residual heat will continue melting the chocolate.
3. Work quickly
It's also important to combine the chocolate and peaches while the chocolate is still warm. This helps the mixture blend more evenly and prevents streaks or separation. Once poured into the mold, tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and create a smoother finish.

Finally, don’t rush the chilling process. The full two to four hours is needed—an overnight chill is even better!
5. Serve with style
Serve it chilled, sliced into bars, scooped into bowls or even layered with yogurt for a lighter parfait. You can drizzle extra melted chocolate, sprinkle flaky salt, stir in protein powder or add a dusting of cocoa. Seasonal toppings, like crushed candy canes, turn it into a holiday-ready treat.
