EASY CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW MOUSSE
We love a classic chocolate mousse, but achieving a silky, light result can be tricky. This marshmallow version may sound surprising but is virtually foolproof and couldn't be easier to make. The gelatin in marshmallows helps sets the mousse, while the sugar in them lends sweetness. Simply stir marshmallows melted with cream into softened chocolate, then fold whipped cream into the cooled mixture. The result is an airy mousse flecked with gorgeous splinters of dark chocolate. If you like, toast extra marshmallows and put some on top of each serving for additional oomph.

Steps:
- Combine the marshmallows, 1/2 cup of the cream, and salt in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate chips on high in a large microwave-safe bowl until mostly melted, 2 minutes. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the chocolate chips and stir until completely combined. Set aside until completely cool, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed or a whisk until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate, covered, until the chocolate mixture is ready.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three batches. It'll take a while to completely incorporate, so be patient. Serve immediately or divide into individual serving dishes or ramekins and refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- 1 Sprinkle the gelatin on the liqueur in a small bowl and set aside.
- 2 Combine the milk and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan and whisk to mix. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- 3 Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a small bowl. When the milk boils, whisk about a third of the milk into the eggs. Return the remaining milk to a boil over low heat then whisk in the egg mixture. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly. Don't let it boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the gelatin mixture.
- 4 Whisk in the chocolate and continue whisking until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Scrape it into a medium bowl and cool it to room temperature.
- 5 To make the meringue, half-fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Regulate the heat so that the water simmers gently but isn't boiling violently. Combine the egg whites, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer, whisking by hand just to mix. Place the bowl over the pan of water and whisk gently until the egg whites are hot (140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer) and the sugar is dissolved. Place the bowl on the mixer with the whisk attachment and whip on medium speed until the meringue is cooled (it doesn't have to come all the way down to room temperature) and increased in volume.
- 6 Fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture.
- 7 Divide the mousse among the prepared glasses and refrigerate until set, 3 to 4 hours.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final product. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the chocolate is melted properly: If the chocolate is not melted properly, it will not be smooth and creamy. To melt chocolate properly, you can either use a double boiler or a microwave.
- Whip the cream until it is stiff: The whipped cream should be stiff enough to hold peaks. If the cream is not whipped stiff enough, the mousse will not be light and fluffy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: Do not overmix, or the mousse will become deflated.
- Chill the mousse before serving: This will help the mousse to set and become more firm.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mousse is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With a few simple tips, you can make a chocolate mousse that is sure to impress your friends and family.
