Ingredients recipe Serves: 4
225g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids tastes the best)
300ml thickened cream
Method of recipe
1.Break up the chocolate into chunks, and place in bowl over barely simmering hot water. Allow chocolate to melt slowly then stir carefully to combine. Cool slightly if necessary.
2.In meantime, whip the cream until just short of "whipped into peaks" stage. If you whip cream into peaks, the resulting mousse will be a bit thick.
3.Pour melted chocolate into cream and then pass chocolate bowl to husband or children so they can fight over who gets to lick the bowl.
4.Fold chocolate into cream, being careful not to bash all the air bubbles out.
5.Transfer into glass dish, and place in fridge for a while - 30 minutes or until firm enough to spoon into 4 small serving dishes.
