Making the chocolate mousse

Bring the double cream to the boil in a saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the couverture chocolate chips. Mix well until a smooth mixture forms. Pour the finished cream – which will still be very runny – into a Tupperware container, cover it and chill overnight (at least 12 hours). The next day, whip the mixture with a hand mixer or food processor and transfer it into suitable containers.

Important to note

All three chocolate mousses must be prepared the day before and left to cool in the fridge overnight! They cannot be frozen and must be eaten within 3 days.

Decoration & Serving Ideas

The various chocolate mousses can be poured into suitable containers as desired. If you want them to look nicely layered, take great care not to spill any over the rim. It is therefore best to pipe the chocolate mousse using a piping bag.

Various fruits make ideal decorations, with raspberries and blueberries being particularly suitable due to their lovely flavour and the contrast they provide. Of course, any fruit can be used. Depending on the fruit, it should simply be added just before serving.
