Dark Chocolate Mousse

Lush, creamy chocolate mousse, covering juicy strawberries – this is such a delicious treat. Okay, so it’s unhealthy. So what? Sometimes you need something special, and this is it.

I like it for dessert after a light lunch or dinner. Or, even better, I could lick it off my beautiful and wonderful partner. Yum indeed!

Ingredients:
180 g dark chocolate
2 tbsp hot coffee or water
1½ tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
300 ml double cream
1-4 tbsp sugar (depends on how sweet you like it)

Instructions:
1. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it over low hit with the coffee or water and vanilla, stirring often.
2. Let the chocolate cool, then mix the egg yolks in (note that there are raw egg yolks in this recipe, so use caution and common sense when eating or serving the mousse).
3. Whip the cream with the sugar.
4. Gently fold the chocolate into the cream. Chill for 30 or more minutes, then serve with fruit or biscuits, cream or ice cream, or a beautiful woman, or just on its own.
