With
it being a Friday and Dear Husband now in the habit of having Chicken tika
masala at the start of each weekend, I needed a dessert recipe for tonight’s
offering. I actually started on one recipe and was mid-way through making it
when I realised that it needed to chill for a few hours. Therefore, I abandoned
that idea and decided to use that recipe for Saturday night and choose another
one instead. Recipe no.2 then became Chocolate
mascarpone mousse.
I
began by melting dark chocolate in a bowl over a simmering saucepan of water.
Once ready, I took the bowl off the heat and added two eggs, two tablespoons of
brandy and caster sugar. Using an electric whisk, I mixed the lot for 5 minutes
exactly. I then added in mascarpone and whisked it briefly until it had all
come together. It was then time to serve up and I also made Shortbread biscuits.
The
verdict…
Dear
Husband was very impressed and…wait for it…awarded the recipe 10 marks out of
10. Seriously. It’s unprecedented that I receive top marks in such quick
succession so now I also know that in addition to him being starving with
hunger, throwing chocolate into a recipe also helps gets the all elusive 10. The
only thing he said that the portion size was probably a bit too much and I would
agree. I couldn’t eat that amount of chocolate mousse either but, then again, I’m
not a fan of mouse. Therefore, if you make this recipe, serve small portions of
it instead.
Overall,
it was a super easy and quick recipe to make. It’s definitely going on The List
and I think Dear Husband is already looking forward to another portion tomorrow…
