A RECIPE: CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

you need only 3 things::

-1 pint of heavy whipping cream

-10 to 12 oz. of semi sweet chocolate 

-either amazing upper body strength, or a stand mixer

pour the pint of cream into your mixer and let it go for about 5 minutes on medium speed.

while your cream is mixing, crush up your chocolate bars as small as possible, 

they'll melt better if chopped smaller. i like technology, so i used a pampered chef chopper to do 

all of that work, too. my god, could i be any lazier? 

 i don't have a double boiler, so i use a big pot of water and a smaller pot sitting on top 

to melt down my chocolate. fancy, huh? 

pour your melted chocolate into your whipped cream and fold the chocolate in. 

try to stir it as little as possible, as you don't want to lose all of the air in your cream!

 let it sit in your fridge for the longest hour of your life.

portion out into individual cups. i used a frosting bag and tip to make it look prettier, but that's only 

because i was bored and had some time to kill. (which is also why i had a mousse photo shoot afterwards)  

and once the shoot was done,  i sat with a spoon and scrapped the sides of the mixing bowl & watched  The Office.
