Chocolate Mousse |
Can be made one day ahead. This has become my family's traditional dessert for Christmas and Thanksgiving, because everyone loves it. It is quite rich and could easily be made to serve six rather than four.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups chocolate chips (melted)
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp gelatin powder (1 envelope)
- 1 cup whipping cream (whipped)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup whipping cream (whipped)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (lightly toasted)
Directions
Melt chocolate chips. Add milk, sugar, and gelatin. Heat to boil, mixing vigorously or beating constantly. Remove from heat and refridgerate, mixing frequently with a wisk.
When thick, (approximately 1-2 hrs), fold in 1 cup cream which has been well beaten with vanilla. Use wisk if necessary.
Spoon into 4 serving bowls and chill.
Beat 1 cup cream with a little sugar, to taste. When serving, spoon whipped cream onto each serving, and sprinkle some toasted almonds on top.
