CHOCO MOUSSE

                     Choco mousse is an elegant dessert. It is delicious and easy- to- make. I did some variations for choco mousse.  I prepared choco mousse with the combination of chocolate and yoghurt, without using whipped cream.

INGREDIENTS :

Cooking choclate bar : 1

 Choclate chips       :   4tsps

Yoghurt     :  1 cup

Almonds    :  8

Powdered sugar  : 4tsps

Disposable cups   :  2

          Step 1 : Remove the water from yoghurt  

 

            Squeeze out the water from yoghurt using a clean cloth, then it will be like a cream and keep it aside.

         Step 2 : Break the chocolate and melt

          Take half of the chocolate bar and break it into rough chunks and melt the chocolate in oven or put the chocolate chunks   in a small stainless steel bowl and set over a sauce pan of simmering water.

       Step 3 : Make chocolate glasses

       After melting the chocolate,  immediately pour 2tsps of melted chocolate in a disposable glass and  nicely rotate the glass until its spreads the half of the glass. Don’t use spoon for spreading and just you need to rotate the glass. Then keep the glasses in the freezer for 30 mins.

       Step 4 : Prepare yoghurt for stuffing

       Take the squeezed creamy yoghurt and add powdered sugar and mix it well. In that add chopped almonds (You can use any nuts, I used only almonds), chocolate chips and refrigerate it for 30 mins.

  Step 5 :  Removing the chocolate glass from disposable glass  and stuffing with yoghurt

             After 30 mins take the glasses from freezer and cut the disposable glass carefully. Then you can see the bowl shaped chocolate. Take the yoghurt from refrigerator and mix once and stuff in to the chocolate glass. Decorate with a cherry or strawberry on the top of mousse.

  Choco mousse ready to serve, keep it in a cool place.
