Background
A Halloween party cannot feel complete without some chocolate graveyard or spooky brownies. This year I made individual RIP chocolate pots, without any eggs. These little pots are really quick & easy to make - and you can be as creative as you wish with the decorations. Also, you can use gluten-free biscuits if required. I added some dried cranberries and crumbled cookies to the mousse - you can add mini marshmallows for a more gooey version, or little spooky gums or crumbled nuts for a textured version.
Ingredients
- 300 ml double cream
- 150g good quality dark chocolate
- 2 Tbsp vanilla sugar (optional)
- Oval or rectangular tea biscuits/cookies
- Chocolate pen
- Dark chocolate shavings, coco powder or chocolate sprinkles
- Dried fruits(cranberries, raisins etc)
Instructions
- Put the chocolate in a glass bowl. Put the bowl in a steamer and melt over simmering water ( make sure the bottom of the glass bowl doesn’t touch the water).
- When the chocolate has melted, take it the heat and add ⅔ Tbsp of double cream and mix well (add some marshmallows now, if you like a gooey version). Let it cool a bit.
- Meanwhile, whip the cream (and sugar, if used) until soft peaks form - it should be fluffy, must not be stiff!
- Gently fold the chocolate in the cream.
- Spoon the mousse into the glasses. Cover the top with cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles or shavings.
- Using the chocolate pen, write RIP on 4-6 cookies - push these gently into the mousse, and dust the “graveyard” with cocoa powder.
- Serve immediately or chill until needed.
Tips
For adults, you can add some liqueur/brandy to the mouse - orange, coffee, almond, cherry liqueur/brandy would work best.Categories
