This is my really simple one that I'm always asked to bring to things!
125g cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
250g dark cooking chocolate
600ml thickened cream lightly whipped
1. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth
2. Break chocolate into small pieces and melt
3. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese mixture. Stir through until well combined. Stir in cream. Chill until required.
I searched for ages and finally found an egg-free one I like (I don't like the idea of eating raw eggs...). So here it is:
Egg-free chocolate mousse
Ingredients (serves 8)
• 250g good-quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 1 x 600ml ctn Dairy Farmers Thick Custard
• 1 x 300ml ctn Dairy Farmers Thickened Cream
• White chocolate, thickly grated, to serve (optional)
Method
1. Place the chocolate and custard in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Use a metal spoon to stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
2. Use an electric beater (like your new one )to whisk the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add to the chocolate mixture and gently (!!) fold until just combined. Spoon evenly among eight 200ml-capacity serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour or until set. Sprinkle with grated white chocolate to serve.
