"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Hippo Pot De Mousse

 

Ingredients

4 oz semisweet chocolate
2 oz bittersweet chocolate
2 cup heavy cream, well-chilled (whipping, cream will do ni
1 tsp almond extract (optional)



 

Preparation

Melt the chocolate together in the top of a double boiler. Be careful
to do this slowly, so as not to burn the chocolate, and to keep all
moisture away from the pot. Let the chocolate cool for five minutes.

While the chocolate cools, whip the cream and almond extract together
until very stiff. Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the whipped
cream. There will be many flecks of chocolate in the mixture.

If you're not going to eat it all yourself, spoon into six large wine
glasses. Chill one hour.

NOTES:

* Extremely quick and easy chocolate mousse -- This is an adaptation
of a very easy chocolate mousse recipe from Sandra Boynton's
hilarious book, "Chocolate, the Consuming Passion." It requires none
of the laborious preparation that most French mousse recipes call
for, and really optimizes the effort needed to consume the chocolate,
which is, after all, what this is all about. Yield: Serves one to six
people.

* If you're careful, you can also melt the chocolate in a microwave
oven, in its wrapper. If you try this, be especially mindful of the
semisweet chocolate, as the sugar therein caramelizes very quickly,
leading to an awful mess (and ruined chocolate).

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 20 minutes preparation, 1 hour chilling.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.
