Dark Chocolate Mousse

This is a very rich mousse that got me in the good books with my flatties last night. And made me unable to go on the spinning rides at the Guy Fawks due to it being incredibly rich. Totally worth it.


Serves 4 - 6

150g Mini Marshmellows
50g Butter
250g Dark Chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
60ml Hot Water
280ml Cream
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Put marshmellows, butter, chocolate and water into a saucepan over a low heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. 


Whip cream with vanilla until thick and fold into the chocolate mixture. Mix until combined and smooth. Pour into glasses or ramekins and chill until ready to eat. I went a little bit posh and used martini glasses. You can also put a little berry jam or dessert topping in the bottom of the glass to add some extra flavour. Sprinkle cocoa or icing sugar and shaved chocolate on top before serving.
