Got a craving for the chocolate mousse you had during the Great Orange Cookout 2006?
Here's an alternative choc mousse recipe that I picked up while watching Jamie Oliver's "The Naked Chef" on TV
Chocolate Mousse
200g Lindt 70% Cocoa (2 bars of 100g lindt chocolate)
1/2 block of butter (approx 150g)
2 eggs
2 tbsp honey
350ml pouring cream
1. melt choc with butter in a boiling water bath.
2. lightly beat egg and honey together in a bowl
3. whisk cream till it expands/raises a bit in another bowl
4. mix all the above mixtures together, then leave to chill in the refridgerator.
you can make some sesame snapps to go with the mousse
200ml sugar
4 tsp water
100g sesame seeds
1. add the sugar and water into a pot and caramelise the sugar
2. once almost done, add the sesame seed into the caramel solution
3. heat for 1-2 minutes more, then cool over metal surface. REMEMBER to grease/oil the surface so that you can remove the snapps easily when it is cooled.
4. Break snapps into large pieces to garnish the mousse.
