Chocolate mousse
If you are a chocoholic then this will be your ultimate dessert! It can only be described as a chocolate dream….but…DO NOT compromise it by using cheap chocolate, you will be able to tell, it will be slightly gritty! It must be the best with a good %cocoa.
Ingredients:
- 200g milk chocolate
- 200g Plain chocolate
- 200g White chocolate
- 350ml iced water
- fresh cream to top (optional)
Method:
First, break up the milk chocolate into individual squares and add 60ml of water into a bowl. Then do the same with the plain and white chocolate keeping them in separate bowls.
Put each mixture, one at a time, in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. It should be slightly chunky, give it a good stir and put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Give it a good stir again and you should be left with a smooth, chocolatey mixture.
Repeat this process with the other two flavours of chocolate.
Pour these mixtures into sealable plastic bags and flatten them out. Then place in the freezer for 1 hour.
If its still a bit gooey, put it back in the freezer for another 10 mins.
As soon as the chocolate is out of the freezer, peel the plastic bag off and whisk at high speed until smooth and slightly paler. Gradually add 70ml of water to the dark chocolate mix, 60ml of water to the milk chocolate mix, and 40ml of water to the white chocolate mix.
Next, pour the plain chocolate into glasses and place in the fridge while you are mixing the milk chocolate. Pour the milk chocolate over the plain and put back in the fridge while you do the White chocolate in the same way.
When you have added the final layer, chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before eating and add a big blob of fresh cream for the ultimate chocolate indulgence.
You could also add sprinkles or crushed flake to the top of the cream – just to make it look that much more special ?
