Easy Chocolate Mousse

Who doesn't love to indulge with a bit of chocolate from time to time.  A rich and luxurious chocolate mousse is what I have in mind.  This incredibly silky and decadent chocolate mousse takes only 5 minutes to make and it is perfect to sharing with your sweetheart this Valentine's Day.












Recipe for Chocolate Mousse


LIST OF INGREDIENTS
  1. 1 cup of heavy cream (Chilled)
  2. 1/4 cup powder sugar or to taste
  3. 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
  4. 6 tablespoons of chocolate syrup (Such as Hershey's)
  5. Chocolate Shavings (To garnish)
  6. Raspberries (To garnish)
  7. Mint (To garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place chilled cream into a large mixing bowl.  Beat the cream with hand mixer set on medium. Beat the cream until the cream begins to thicken.  Do not over-beat.
  2. Add the confectioner's sugar.  Beat for one minute.  Add the vanilla and chocolate syrup and continue beating on medium until soft peaks form.  Do not over-beat because it will turn clumpy and butter-like consistency.
  3. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint.
  4. Serve mousse immediately.


Thank you for stopping by today.  Your comments always make my day.

Warm Regards,

Janet

    YUM! And you have served it in about the loveliest way possible - in teacups!

    Thanks for the recipe - seems so easy, huh? Strawberry syrup would work for St. Valentine's Day too, wouldn't it I bet?

    The presentation of the mousse is beautiful, and it does look easier because, it has no egg whites to get right consistency. But can I get it right? It looks delicous. Thank you for sharing the recipe. xoxo Su

    I love chocolate mousse so much, I'm truly fond of chocolate in every form you may offer it to me, my sweetest Janet !
    Think, just this morning I've published a post about the importance of hot chocolate during the XVIIIth century ( with recipes ), we've been inspired by the same topic, isn't amazing ?!?
    Probably we both think that chocolate and Winter are a wonderful combination !
    Sending blessings on the remainder of your week, dearie
    with deep love and gratitude

9 Steps for Hosting The Ultimate Spring Birthday Tea Party

Hi friends - I've missed you all.  Things are rapidly changing for us all.  Many of us are working from home these days, stopped gathering with family and weekend outings are basically trips to the supermarket to restock.  It's the least that we can do to help stop the spreading of this horrific virus that is changing the world as we know it.  That being said, I am so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends two weeks ago when we all came together for the celebration of my Goddaughter Daniella's birthday.  We had a blast and the memories made are ones that will live in my heart forever.     My sincerest thank you to everyone that helped me put this beautiful event together.  Especially my cousin, Jennifer of Having Fun Craft s, for making all the gorgeous place cards and backdrops.  They were a beautiful addition to the overall decor.  A big thank you and hug to my niece Ericka for flying in from Florida to help me put it all together and to the amazi

Wood Box Rustic Floral Arrangement Tutorial

So what do you do with an old wooden bit box found at a flea market???  Well, the answer is very simple for those of us that love all things vintage and worn...  We display flowers of course.   And luckily, I scored big on my trip to my local grocery store yesterday. Our flower vendor had the most spectacular roses in stock.  I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were.  Two tone roses in the most delicate soft shades of pink and fuchsia.  I knew these roses were meant for me!!!  I grab two bunches and practically ran home to snap a few shots of them and arrange them to showcase their timeless beauty. So today, I am sharing a tutorial on how I made this rustic centerpiece...  The best part of this tutorial, is that there are no fancy materials needed.  The only items required are the flowers, a few glass tumblers, water and floral shears or scissors.  And in less than 10 minutes, you will have a spectacular centerpiece that will rival any one that you may purchase at a Floris

A Country Christmas Tablescape

Until this Christmas, I had no idea that I was going to be having a little obsession with vintage trucks. Specifically, red pickup trucks.  Me, the girl that loves to decorate with delicate flowers and romantic fabrics.  Hard to believe but it is true!!!  And decorating with vintage cars is seems to be having a moment..  They are everywhere!! So today, I am happy to share one of my most pinned and shared tablescapes.  It is my Country/Farm house themed Christmas table which showcases my latest find. You guess it!  A red pickup truck.  It was just too adorable to pass up.  I didn't know what use it would have in my decor when I first brought it home but it quickly became the inspiration for all of our Christmas decorating the last two holiday seasons. Such a fun piece to own with a great vintage vibe too.   My whimsical table begins with a distressed wood charger in antique white, topped with simple white plates and Pier 1 Imports Glad Tidings Porcelain Salad plates.  I al
