"When you haven't got time for overnight setting in the fridge or you don't want to use raw eggs, this mousse is perfect. In fact, at all times, constraints or not, it is chocaliciously gorgeous." ~ Nigella
This recipe 'was made for' TMX!! If Nigella doesn't have one I'm sure she'd love one. It is Super easy and super scrummy!! Very dangerous - no waiting around 6 hours to set - could be making it alot more often then I should. :-))
Instant Chocloate Mousse:(Adapted from her site (http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/instant-chocolate-mousse-4))
Number of People: 4-6
Ingredients:
•150g marshmallows (I used pascalls mega mellows - just ripped them into bits as I put them in)
•50g soft butter (unsalted)
•250g good dark chocolate (I use Green and Black's 70%)
•60g hot water
•280g cream (pure)
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
1.Insert butterfly, sp 4, 20-40sec - Whip the cream with the vanilla until thick, firm peaks. (depends on your cream so keep an eye on it and don't end up with butter)
2.Scrape out and set cream aside.
3.Don't bother washing out bowl - Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in. 70oC, sp 1-2, 5min. Melt altogether - knock speed up to 3 for a few seconds to make sure all melted together.
4.Allow to cool down a little and add cream and butterfly back to bowl and fold mix gently speed 1 for a few seconds.
5.Scrape into 4 glasses (175ml) or 6 smaller (125ml) ones, and chill until you want to eat. The sooner the better!
Tips/Hints:This is RICH so I opted for smaller glasses but used bigger ones too and added strawberry foam (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1086.75) and berries. You can watch her make it on YouTube (http://youtu.be/0mfnXSX3qu4). This is so easy it can be whipped up in 10min!! ;)
I used this today to make my own wonderful creation - A choc mousse marshmallow slice!!! I made the bickie base in a slice tin and added the mousse mixture and a marshmallow mix on top of that and swirled it with a tooth pick, let it set and topped with toasted coconut. Very happy with that.

Add the grated white chocolate like she does in the video. ;D

Oh no! I sooo don't need a chocolate mousse recipe that I can get to straight away! :o :o
-
This so reminds of the coffee cream from Margaret Fulton bessemer cookbook
any one else got that book
-
Oh - Sorry LeeJ!! :-[ I did what I thought was a thorough search on here before posting it - I thought it was too good to be true that it wasn't up here somewhere. It is sooooo divine. :o
-
Is that like a coffee mousse fundj??
-
yes it is. i just found the book ;D
-
oh don't be silly, at least I know where it originated from ;)
it really is just too divine!!
-
You need to post an adapted version fundj - I think the 2 (chocolate and coffee mousse) would go lovely together in a parfait glass!! ;)
-

-
i guess could make some marshmallows :P
-
Well you could - you do have a TMX. ;)
-

-
LOL!! You're a star!! :D But I don't think you'll want to use them up in the recipe now will you??
-
Looks great Nay-Nay and Lee! I was looking for a recipe just like this the other day. Certainly very handy not to have to leave hours for it to set. Will be trying this next time I have visitors.
PS Wow Fundj -- you don't mess around!
-

Very happy with that - all set to take to a baby shower tomorrow. ;)
-
Can I have your marshmallow recipe - I don't think I whip mine as long as it should and if I look closely there is a line of 'split' mixture. ???
This is a picture of it in the slice tin.
-
It looks lovely Nay-Nay. I'm sure it tasted wow too.
-
do you think this would work with white choc?
-
i can't see why not - let us know how it goes?? ;)
