I first learned how to make chocolate mousse in high school, in my home economics class. I have to say for a cringe-worthy class, (it was abit of an old-fashioned class where you learnt how to cook and you also learned how to put a condom on a carrot by a very strange teacher) we did learn a lot, and some of those recipes, I still do in my day-to-day.

The chocolate mousse we did was a slight variation to this recipe. Easy, quick just the way I like recipes. Also decorating it, is simple. A few raspberries, a mint leaf, maybe some whipped cream and that is all!

I will tell you a little secret about me… I am not a big chocolate fan (insert scared face emoji!) I know, I know I am one of those rare people that chocolate doesn’t do it for me. In saying that, I love this mousse. I guess it’s because it’s not very sweet and the dark chocolate has a certain bitterness.

Also, although the recipe say butter, I deliberately don’t say what butter. You can use either, I tend to use salted butter as I like the slight salt playing with the sweetness.

Once you make and I know you will enjoy it, I am sure it will be on your repertoire of quick desserts!
