What You Need: 200g of coarsely chopped dark chocolate
1/2 cup of heavy cream
(2 tablespoons) of unsalted butter
Sweetener, 2 tablespoons
a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for decoration; a variety of fresh fruits (e.g., kiwis, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries) thinly sliced
Instructions:
The Chocolate Ganache Must Be Prepared:
Put the dark chocolate that has been coarsely chopped into a heatproof basin.
Simmer the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes.
Allow the chopped chocolate to soak in the heated cream for one minute.
To melt and smooth the chocolate, gently whisk the ingredients.
While the chocolate is melting, add the sugar, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter and mix until everything is mixed. Let sit for a while to cool down.
Cream the Butter:
Whip the leftover heavy cream into soft peaks in a another dish.
Combine the whipped cream with the chocolate ganache.
The chocolate ganache should be folded into the whipped cream gradually until chilled and properly combined. If you want the mousse to have its airy quality, you need to handle it gently.
