  • DIRECTIONS
    1. Chop each chocolate into small pieces and place in separate bowls. To each bowl add 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream.
    2. Melt each chocolate (one at the time) over a double boiler. Then set aside and let cool to room temperature.
    3. When all melted chocolate has chilled, start whipping the cream, whip to whip to soft-medium peaks.
    4. Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into each chocolate mixture. Fold until combined and no streaks remain.
    5. Transfer each mousse to a piping bag.
    6. Pipe first mousse into your serving dish, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. Then pipe the second mousse, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. Then pipe the third mousse and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
    Notes:
    • There are 2 options to whip the cream: 1. Whip all the cream (540ml) at once, then divide it into 3 equal parts. 2. Divide into 3 (180ml), then whipping each portion, this option is more precise.

  2. The amount of cream, and when to add it makes no sense in this recipe!
    1 cup, divided, (x3 layers) does not make the 1/4 cup mentioned.
    And then this: add the cream in step 1, then melt the chocolate in step 2, then whip it in step 3, and add in a 1/3, in step 4.
    Bonkers! I’m totally lost.

  8. Can this mousse be frozen please

    1. Freeze In Portions
      Ensure you freeze it in portions to avoid unwanted waste in future. Once thawed, you will not be able to refreeze it.
      Expect Textural Changes
      Depending on the ingredients you’ve used, there is a chance that the texture of your chocolate mousse will change once it has thawed so expect it to become a little grainy.
      Eat It Frozen
      No, really! You can eat it straight from the freezer as a semifreddo-style frozen mousse. This way there will be no major changes to the texture and
