Instant Chocolate Mousse - Nigella Lawson image

Normally, you need to make chocolate mousse a good few hours, or better still a day, before you want to eat it, so that the egg yolk sets and the whisked whites permeate everything with air bubbles. Forget that: here we have no yolks, no whites, no whisking, no waiting. Lack of raw egg, incidentally, also means that you might be happier giving the mousse to small children, though I certainly feel they should not be the only beneficiaries.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
9 ounces best quality semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup hot water, from a recently boiled kettle
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in a heavy-based saucepan.
  • Put the saucepan on the stove, over heat, though keep it fairly gentle, to melt, stirring every now and again.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile whip the cream with the vanilla until thick and then fold into the cooling chocolate mixture until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture.
  • Pour or scrape into 4 or 6 glasses or small dishes and chill until you want to eat.
  • The sooner the better!

This mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This mousse is very easy to make, but it is not as flavorful as I expected. I think it needs more chocolate.
