Rich Chocolate Mousse
This is my favourite recipe for chocolate mousse. Maybe because I experimented and came up with it myself? It is also very very simple.
Ingredients-
600ml thickened cream
250g dark chocolate
1 tbsp of kahlua or similar (if you like)
Method-
Whip 540ml of the cream along with the kahlua (if using). Set aside.
Melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove. If you use the microwave, zap it in 30 second bursts stirring in between.
Once the chocolate is melted*, add the final 60ml of cream that you didn’t whip to it. Stir through.
Gently stir the chocolate mix through the whipped cream.
Spoon into small bowls or a large serving dish. If you aren’t going to serve it immediately, refridgerate it.
I have found that this recipe makes 6 serves. It is very rich, so you don’t need a large amount.
* If your melted chocolate seizes (goes hard and a little crumbly, rather than a sauce-like consistency) add cream and stir.
Chocolate will seize if water (steam) gets into it when it is melting. If the cream doesn’t fix it immediately, heat it again and add a little more cream, stirring until it is runny. The cream will fix seized chocolate.

For your American readers 600ml equals 1 pint and 250 gs is 8 ounces

Off to a good start. I haven’t made chocolate mousse in years. (My recipe is a little different.)
Mmmm, I love a good choccie mousse. I make one in a similar way. Haven’t done that in a while actually….

No need for a real kitchen to make, I am so going to make this, or I will steal my boyfriends kitchen if I find it necessary.
