Italian Dessert Special Recipe

Italian Chocolate Mousse

 Sometimes we all need just a little chocolate! 

 INGREDIENTS:

1 CUP (6 oz) SEMISWEET DARK CHOCOLATE 

3 CUPS HEAVY CREAM – divided 

2 TBS SUGAR 

¼ CUP FRANGELICO LIQUEUR 

COCOA POWDER – for topping 

EXTRA WHIPPED CREAM – for garnishing 

 

 

METHOD:

  1. Slowly melt the chocolate in the top of a double broiler. When melted whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream until well blended. Remove from heat and let sit for 20 or 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
  2. In a large, chilled mixing bowl combine the remaining 2 cups of cream along with the sugar and Frangelico. Using an electric mixer, whip all together until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold one-third of the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream. Continue with the second third and fold in gently. Finally, carefully add the last third and fold in gently.
  4. Chill in the bowl until ready to serve or spoon into individual dessert cups.  Top with more whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa when ready to serve. 

 

NOTE: you can use chocolate morsels if you prefer and also, I have used Gran Marnier or a raspberry liqueur on occasion to change up the flavoring a bit. 

 

BUON MANGIATA!
