Oh So Delicious – CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Last night after dinner, my husband asked, “Where’s the Dessert?” I looked at him funny, and said, “There isn’t any!” I then proceeded to ask him, what he would have wanted. His response was this:

“A nice fluffy Chocolate Mousse, with chopped Almonds & coconut on the top!”
I just laughed at him. Tonight, he’s getting his Chocolate Mousse!

 

This recipe is from “THE REALLY GOOD FOOD COOK BOOK ” You won’t believe how wonderful this mousse is! You can make it, in 10 minutes Flat! I promise. You could serve it at the most elegant dinner parties or at family dinners and, I promise you, it will be all gone. You could also layer berries and whipped cream in between the Chocolate Mousse.

 Ingredients

 8 ounces chocolate chips (Semi or Milk)

Depending on how dark of Chocolate you want

*I used a 6 ounce Symphony bar for a Milk Chocolate Mousse instead of the Chocolate chips
 6 tablespoons water

5. Add the confectioner’s sugar.
6. Gently FOLD in the chocolate.
7. Scoop the Chocolate Mousse into a clear, glass bowl or dessert glasses
