Easy Chocolate Mousse recipe by Ruhana Ebrahim

Ingredients

• 250ml fresh cream (chilled well)
• 1 tin evaporated milk
• 2 x 70% dark chocolate slabs
• 400g white marshmallows
• 1. In a wide based pot, add evaporated milk and put on medium heat.
• 2. Add marshmallows and allow to melt, smoothening out any lumps.
• 3. Then break chocolate into pieces and add to pot.
• 4. Turn heat off and stir in chocolate until smooth.
• 5. Leave aside to cool.
• 6. Whip fresh cream until stiff peaks form.
• 7. Fold whipped cream gently into chocolate mixture.
• 8. Spoon into serving dish.
• 9. Garnish as desired.
• 10. Leave in fridge to chill & set.
• 1. May replace evaporated milk with another 250ml fresh cream or 250ml full cream milk.
• 2. You could use a mixture of milk ans dark chocolate but I prefer to only use dark chocolate as mixed with the marshmallows in the mousse, it becomes quite rich and sweet.
• 4. If you'd like the mousse stiffer to place in a mould, bloom 1 teaspoon gelatin powder in 2 tablespoon cold water and add to mixture.
• 5. Tastes lovely with a biscuit or cake base too for added texture.
