Nigella's Chocolate Mousse (Mess)

Last week while the husband was away cycling through Mexico, the daughter and I discovered Nigella Lawson. Most evenings, we snuggled up after the little boy went to sleep and watched wide eyed Nigella's videos which can be found on You Tube.

We were especially impressed with the Chocolate Mousse (see video below). We just knew we had to try it.

Ok, I know. I can almost hear you shaking your head-Nigella has been around for a long while but remember, we don't have a TV. We are a bit slow around here in some media respects.

All was going well and the recipe was looking just like the one on the video until we combined the whipped cream and melted goods.

It was at that point that the Chocolate Mousse presented itself more as chocolate soup (yuck) and not without a stomach ache. What a let down!

I did allow the chocolate mess to cool quite a bit but I think I may try this recipe again and the next time allow the melted goods to cool even more -even to a chilled cool before combining them with the whipped cream.

Good thinking.
