Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

175g plain Cadbury chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tbsp vanilla essence
1 tsp powdered gelatine
2 eggs, separated
300ml double cream

To make the mousse filling, melt the chocolate with the vanilla essence slowly in a bowl over a pan of water.
Meanwhile sprinkle the gelatine over 1 tbsp of cold water in a small bowl and leave to sponge for about 10 minutes. Stand the bowl in a pan of hot water and allow to dissolve gently.

Leave the melted chocolate to cool slightly and then stir in the egg yolks. Whip the cream until it just stands in soft peaks, then fold into the chocolate. Stir the dissolved gelatine into the chocolate mixture. Whisk the egg whites until siff but not dry, and gently fold in. Pour into a container of your choice. Cover and leave to set in the fridge.

And voila!! Creamy chocolate mousse...

Cool I always wanted to know how to make choc mousse.

Shi-shi, next time I'm in CT you can make one for me.

I love chocolate mousse. I will have to try make this one day though. Sounds good. mmm...

Cyber: We'll maybe I could if somebody would stop killing me!!

Its the devil....he made me do it! (ANBU and CyberStorm still loves shi-shi)

Nothing personal shi-shi, but war has broken between ANBU and the n00b guilds.

No worries cyber.. its all good fun...

And the devil makes me do alot of bad things too

You have to elaborate????

Like I always say... thats for me to know and for you to feel... hehehehe....

Oh and about the mousse, a nice addition is to put whipped cream on top and then sprinkle grated peppermint chocolate over it. I normally let the mousse set in martini glasses... it looks great and everyone has their own one, so no messy dishing out.
