The Easiest Yummiest Chocolate Mousse EVER!!!
Singstar Princess has been asking to make chocolate mousse.
Not something I’ve ever made before.
Off I went to the internet, trying to find a simple recipe that didn’t contain too many raw eggs (not a big fan of eating raw egg white in great quantities).
We thought we’d found one.
It was AWFUL!!!
SO, try Facebook instead.
At least that way we’d get a “tried and true” recipe.
My friend Naomi made the following suggestion:
Whipped Cream with Vittorio Hot Chocolate Powder mixed in.
Now that’s MY idea of simple!!!
I made the appropriate purchases then we lightly whipped the cream (I think we used about 400ml of cream but you can make whatever quantity you like), set aside a small quantity of whipped cream for garnishing and then began to add the Hot Chocolate Mix a bit at a time until we had the taste we desired.
Here’s how they turned out:
I bought these Martini Glasses from Kmart one Christmas to put homemade slushies in and they’ve come in handy as dessert glasses as well.
Singstar Princess made the chocolate garnishing while they were setting.
I’m sure they’d look even better if we’d had strawberries to put on top (but at $8.99 a punnet right now, that just isn’t going to happen!!!!).
They were a big hit with the whole family although none of us managed to get through it all in one serving.
So we added a wine glass marker tag to each stem and put them in the fridge. Everyone knew what picture they had and could grab theirs whenever they felt like it.
I think Singstar Princess was pretty happy with her efforts:

What a great looking dessert and simple.
I love Singstar’s garnish.
I saw a recipe in Gary Mehigan’s & George ’s book about an olive oil mousse which is basically whipped cream, melted choc and olive oil …I’m not so sure about olive oil though.
Love the garnish! My choc mousse is the melted choc-egg yolk stirred in-beaten egg whites folded through one. Garnished with whipped cream. I rarely make it anymore.
She had lots of fun making those chocolate pieces. I had to sit on my hands not to “help”. LOL.
I’ve never made chocolate mousse but I’m with you Trish, olive oil? I would wonder if it would taint it taste wise?
