PHOODIE ’ S MINT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH PEPPERMINT CRISP CRUMBLE
Food blogger Phoodie shares deliciously decadent dessert recipe .
In my mind , mint and chocolate is a match made in culinary heaven . This mousse recipe is so easy to whip up , which means it is the ideal ‘ make ahead ’ dessert . Enjoy !
Serves : 8
What you ’ ll need
For the mousse 250ml thickened cream
155g plain milk chocolate 50g Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly Mint or similar 105g white marshmallows
An additional 250ml thickened cream , whipped
For the base 250g Arnott ’ s Choc Ripple
( or any plain chocolate cookie ) 5 x 35g Peppermint Crisp chocolate bars
For topping 150g of a mixture of Mint M & Ms and
Mint Malteasers
How to make them :
1 . Roughly chop the plain and mint Cadbury chocolate and place it in a large microwave-safe bowl with the cup of cream and the marshmallows . Stir thoroughly .
2 . Mircrowave on high for around three minutes ( make sure you stir it every 30 seconds to ensure it doesn ’ t burn ). Note : it may take more or less than three minutes in your microwave ; the goal is simply to melt all of these ingredients together . You could do this on the stove , either directly or using a bain marie – just make sure you stir it , to avoid burning it .
3 . Remove mixture from microwave . Using a whisk , give it a good stir , then set it aside on the bench to completely cool . 4 . Whip the additional cream into soft peaks . 5 . Add the whipped cream to the cooled chocolate mixture – start by folding it through with a spatula , and then use a whisk to combine it at the final stages . The mixture should be very smooth ; you don ’ t want any random lumps of cream .
6 . To make the base , blitz the Choc Ripple biscuits to a fine crumb and place in a bowl . Roughly chop the Peppermint Crisps into small pieces and add this to the biscuit crumb . Mix well .
7 . Place a tablespoon of Peppermint Crisp crumb into each glass , pour in the mousse mixture and then place the cups in the fridge for at least eight hours or ( preferably ) overnight to set .
8 . Once set , top each mousse with another tablespoon of Peppermint Crisp crumb , and then sprinkle M & Ms and Malteasers over the top to serve .
9 . Enjoy !
