Chocolate mousse graveyard

I love making creepy graveyard cakes for Halloween parties - but many of my guests can't enjoy them because they contain gluten. I've found this Chocolate mousse graveyard recipe online but substituted gluten-free biscuits - the pudding was a great success! It's actually very easy to make - hardly any cooking involved and it's really delicious!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g marshmallows chopped
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 1 pack rectangular biscuits
  • 1 pack Halloween wine gums
  • 1 pack dark chocolate sprinkles
  • 1 pack Halloween sweets
  • Chocolate writer icing pen or tube
  • Fresh mint sprigs

Method
 

  1. Gently melt the marshmallows, butter and dark chocolate in a pan over a low heat, then leave to cool slightly. Crush about 10 biscuits into chunks and these to the chocolate together with the crumbs.
  2. Whip the double cream until thick, then fold it into the chocolate mixture.
  3. Spoon the mixture into a glass or ceramic dish and push some wine gums & sweets halfway into the mousse.
  4. Scatter the sprinkles all over then position some wine gums on the surface. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
  5. Decorate 5 biscuits with the writer to look like gravestones - write Boo, RIP or draw spider web and skeleton on them.
  6. Just before serving, gently push the gravestone biscuits into the mousse and poke in a couple of fresh mint sprigs.
