Eggless Chocolate Mousse

Tweet

I have finally managed to come say hello. How have you been? Blame it on the virus cycle doing the rounds in my house! It started with my husband and I am the last victim. You know how it can be when flu starts in a family. Chaos! Someone is sick when the other is recovering. Everybody needs different kinds of food or treatment and it is mayhem. Now, I am feeling better and once my nasty throat and running rose decides to be well too things will be okay.

But then again drafts are a boon during these times. And what can be a better way to get back with you all than a chocolate treat. So here is to compensate my absence from blogger and Facebook a decadent eggless chocolate mousse:-)

This is the best among all the eggless chocolate mousse I've tried !

Ingredients:

Mini Marshmallows- 1 cup

Unsalted Butter- 2 Tbsp

Semisweet Chocolate baking squares- 4 ounces

Boiling Water- 3 Tbsp

Heavy cream- 1/2 cup

Pure Vanilla Extract- 1 tsp

Method:

1 1 .Chop the chocolate bars coarsely.

2.Take a thick bottomed pan and throw in the marshmallows, butter, chopped chocolate, and boiling water. Stir well to mix. On medium low heat continue stirring till everything is melted and mixed together.

3. 3.Once done, keep the pan in the freezer/refrigerator to cool while you whip the cream.

4. 4.Place a bowl, chilled in the freezer for 5 minutes or chilled in the refrigerator, in a cold water bath (water mixed with ice cubes). Whip the cream with vanilla till stiff peaks form.

5. 5. .Now fold in the whipped cream into the chilled chocolate mixture.

6. 6.Spoon out into the glasses and chill again before serving.Cover them with cling wrap before chilling.

Notes:

1T 1.This serves 2 to 3.

In 2.In step 2, be careful not to overheat.

Disclaimer: There has a been a misunderstanding about "eggless" vs "vegetarian". Nowhere in the post have I suggested that this dish is vegetarian.Marshmallows generally contain gelatin which is an animal product. But if you are looking for a vegan marshmallow, you can find it in the market.
