"When you haven't got time for overnight setting in the fridge or you don't want to use raw eggs, this mousse is perfect. In fact, at all times, constraints or not, it is chocaliciously gorgeous." ~ Nigella This recipe 'was made for' TMX!! If Nigella doesn't have one I'm sure she'd love one. It is Super easy and super scrummy!! Very dangerous - no waiting around 6 hours to set - could be making it alot more often then I should. Instant Chocloate Mousse:(Adapted from her
site)
Number of People: 4-6Ingredients:•150g marshmallows
(I used pascalls mega mellows - just ripped them into bits as I put them in)•50g soft butter
(unsalted)•250g
good dark chocolate
(I use Green and Black's 70%)•60g hot water
•280g cream
(pure)•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:1.Insert butterfly, sp 4, 20-40sec - Whip the cream with the vanilla until thick, firm peaks. (depends on your cream so keep an eye on it and don't end up with butter)
2.Scrape out and set cream aside.
3.Don't bother washing out bowl - Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in. 70
oC, sp 1-2, 5min. Melt altogether - knock speed up to 3 for a few seconds to make sure all melted together.
4.Allow to cool down a little and add cream and butterfly back to bowl and fold mix gently speed 1 for a few seconds.
5.Scrape into 4 glasses (175ml) or 6 smaller (125ml) ones, and chill until you want to eat. The sooner the better!
Tips/Hints:This is RICH so I opted for smaller glasses but used bigger ones too and added strawberry foam and berries. You can watch her make it on YouTube. This is so easy it can be whipped up in 10min!! I used this today to make my own wonderful creation - A choc mousse marshmallow slice!!! I made the bickie base in a slice tin and added the mousse mixture and a marshmallow mix on top of that and swirled it with a tooth pick, let it set and topped with toasted coconut. Very happy with that.
