# 32 :Chocolate Mousse

Its been a really long time I blooged.

Well, sometimes along with being busy even laziness creeps in..and I guess my laziness took over me this summer! :P    But enjoying cooking and eating has not stopped.

I have loved preparing every dish and meal with equal enthusiasm and zeal.. and today onwards I am finally gonna be able to compile the recipes and share it too..

So what better to start with but from where i left it... and the best.. "KUCH MITHA HO JAYE"...CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!

Was in Malaysia, when i prepared this.. Honestly with the truck loads of chocloates I kept feasting myself to.. I was given standing instruction to even finish them.. Did not want to make my self sick of having chocolates and wanted to do something new to keep my craze going and yet finish the chocolates...

Happened to write down one of Nigella's quick recipes on preparing the mousse.. And so it had to be tried out..

THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE...

Ingredients:

1. Marshmellows - 150 gms
2. Unsalted Butter - 50 gms
3. Dark Chocolate (Bournvillle fruit & nut) - 1
4. Dark Chocolte chips - 50 gms
5. Cream - 280 ml
6. Vanilla Essence - 4-5 drops
7. Water- 4 TBsp

Preparation:

Ideally Nigella uses 250 grams of chocolate chips.. But Since I had chocolates to finish.. I decided to try out using the chocolates bar itself! The Twist in the mousse is the fruit & nut Bournville chocolate.. the nuts just add the desired surprise element to it.. :)

Heat and melt the Marshmellows, Butter, dark chocolate, & water. The marshmellows do take a little longer to melt. So do not get worked up! Just be patient and wait for it to melt and then cool the mixture.

Whisk the cream till its firm and add the essence as well.

Fold the chocolate-marshmellow mix into the cream. Pour into the bowls and grate some white/dark chocolate on it.

 

Refridgerate for 2 hours..and the mousse is all set to be served! :)

Njoi!
