A few weeks back my sister and I made some delicious chocolate mousse that went down a treat! To fit in with my colour scheme on my Winter Wonderland dessert table I made aqua chocolate snowflakes filled with a rich, velvety chocolate mousse. I will definitely have to make these again, maybe in pretty egg form for Easter!
Chocolate snowflake mousse (makes 6 snowflakes)
Ingredients
- 300g double cream
- Pinch of caster sugar
- 300g 70% dark chocolate drops
- 100g white chocolate drops
- Aqua chocolate colouring (must be chocolate colouring as regular food colouring will cause chocolate to seize and ruin)
Snowflake mould from Target
Cooking instructions
- Melt white chocolate and stir in food colouring.
- Pour coloured white chocolate into moulds and, using a brush, coat sides of moulds in chocolate and leave to set.
- Place cream in a bowl with a pinch of caster sugar and whip until soft peaks form.
- Melt 200g of dark chocolate in the microwave on a low heat or in a double boiler on the hob, continuously stirring so as not to overheat.
- Stir melted chocolate into whipped cream until you have an even coloured mousse.
- Spoon mousse into chocolate coated snowflake moulds and place in fridge to firm.
- Melt remaining 100g of dark chocolate and coat the top of the mousse with dark chocolate to seal in mousse.
- Place in fridge to set.
- Turn out snowflake filled moulds just before serving.
Have a sweet day!
