Eggless Chocolate Mousse

Always wanted to try a recipe with gelatin. What can be more appealing than a chocolate mousse. Good for your taste buds and also a new trial for my blog.

Ingredients:

Unsweetend Dark chocolate -  100 gms
Milk -  2 cups
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Vanilla Essence -  1/2 tsp
Whipped Cream - 1 cup
Gelatin - 2 tsp
Water - 1/4 cup
Chopped almonds - 2 tsp

Method:

Mix the gelatin in water and leave it to get dissolved.

Melt the chocolate using double boiler method. Double boiling is to boil water in a pan and place another bowl on top of it with chocolate. The chocolate melts in the heat.

In another pan bring the milk to boil. Add sugar and vanilla essence to it.

Heat the water with gelatin on low flame. Keep stirring till it becomes transparent and little sticky.

Add the gelatin mix and milk to the melted chocolate and mix well. Cool the chocolate mix.

Add half a cup of whipped cream to the chocolate mix and mix well. I have used the other half cup of cream for topping. Pour it into the moulds or cups of your choice.

Refrigerate it for around four hours. Once the mousse is thickened, garnish it with cream and chopped almonds. Serve it chilled.
