Chocolate Mousse

I've been busy baking, but too busy with school to update my blog. I'm here now to tell you about the chocolate mousse I made a few days ago. It was absolutely delicious! The first step is to chop up chocolate. I used sweet dark chocolate and a little milk ,chocolate. Next, I melted it over a Bain-Marie ( double boiler.) Once the chocolate melted; I took it off the heat, but kept it warm. While that kept warm, I whipped my heavy cream to soft peaks and then set it to the side. I combined whipped eggs (yolks and whites) with sugar until it was fluffy. I Slowly combined the egg mixture with the chocolate and folded in the whipped cream with the chocolate and eggs. After it was combined, I let it set up in the fridge over night. It was so soft and fluffy. The editor said it was scrumptious! She was mad she couldn't eat more because of her weight watchers diet. I shared the majority of it with my neighbors because the editor thought she might eat all for a midnight snack. This chocolate mousse was by far the sweetest, best dessert I have made! Everyone should know how to make it.

PS. I've baked some other things too. I'll write about them this week. The cutest thing I made was spaghetti and meatball cupcakes for my cousin Payton's birthday!
