Chocolate Mousse

Who doesn't love Chocolate? I mean, I do and that too a lot! If you have a sweet tooth, this recipe is for you. It's easy and tastes really good. I came across this recipe in Wikihow. The original recipe was that of a chocolate truffle, however due to some reason or the other, could not make the truffle (it didn't freeze properly), I ended up making the mousse. 

The modification of this recipe from the original one is that, I added a little bit of coffee in it for the flavor. You can add any other flavor as well. Be it rum or some fruit essence. I am sure it won't taste bad.I also added milk powder for extra taste.

Here comes the recipe:


Ingredients:


Cadbury Silk - 2 medium bars
Butter - 100 gms
Sugar - 4 tablespoons
Full cream - 400 ml
Coffee - 1 small packet
Milk powder - 1 cup 
Cadbury Gems - 1 packet (for decoration)


Procedure:


The first thing that needs to be kept in mind while making anything out of chocolate is that, it gets burnt easily so you have to take extra precaution while making anything that has chocolate in it. Cook it in low flame,use a double boiler, stir it continuously and never leave it unattended. 



Break the chocolates. Keep it aside.
Place a medium cooking pan in a high heat and pour around 1 liter of water. Bring the water to a simmer.
Place the small cooking pan into the medium one (containing the water). Try to keep the bottom of the small pot from touching the water in the big pot.
Put the chocolates into the small cooking pan. Let it melt. This should take approximately 10 mins. Keep the gas burner in low flame (always).Keep stirring continuously.
Add the cream and butter, let the mixture simmer in low flame till the butter is melt and the cream is fully mixed. Keep stirring continuously.
Now add the coffee and the milk powder. Be careful so that a lump is not formed by stirring it continuously. Make sure that the mixture is smooth. An air bubble is fine but a lump in a mousse is a strict no-no.
You can add sugar now, only if you want your mousse to be a little more sweet. If not, you can easily skip the step
Keep stirring the mixture till it's smooth and no lumps are there.
Cool it to room temperature. 
Decorate it the way you like it. I used the good old Gems.
Refrigerate it for at least 6 hours.

The chocolate mousse is now, yours!
