I’m Making Nigella Lawson’s 5-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse All Summer Long

It is rare to come across a dessert that is easy And decadent. Too often, I try to satisfy sugar injury with recipes that claim to be an abbreviation for the sugar sky, and I have something that is only okay.

I am a grocery author – how often have I been the victim of this kind of false promise?

Probably because if a chocolate request is hits in the evening, I have no time to plan, shop and prepare. I need immediate satisfaction!

But WowI think I found a unicorn of a recipe. The Immediate chocolate mousse From Nigella, Lawson is simple and five stars are delicious. It is also made with ingredients that you have at home on standby companies.

Why Nigella’s chocolate mousse is “immediately”

The magic of this 5-content miracle is that thanks to mini-marshmallows it does not have to set overnight. They have melted and mixed with chocolate and butter; While the mixture cools down, the marshmallows long for their original consistency and open quickly.

The marshmallow chocolate mix is ​​folded into whipped cream and poured into serving dishes. It’s so easy. The result is a velvety, rich and not too sweet, but so-so-chocolate dessert.

For me it is everything I am looking for in chocolate mousse in a “moment”.

How to serve immediate chocolate mousse

There are two ways to serve this fast mousse. If you need chocolate Now (We were all in the desire for chocolates, so no judgment), eat it immediately while it’s warm. The atmosphere is Brownie -dough meets the interior of a chocolate lava cake.

Or when you can wait, cool it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the mousse cools down and thicken. (To cool it faster, pour it into flat updates.) For what it is worth, I tried it in both directions and was surprised that I preferred it warm.

One thing that should consider the instructions of the recipe: It was unclear to me if you were to cool the chocolate mixture completely before folding the whipped cream. I didn’t do it (it just cooled down a bit when I whipped the heavy cream) and it turned out to be great.

As I loved this chocolate mousse as IS, I would like to try to use it as a dip for fresh fruit, fondue style. Now that I think about it, pretzels and pound cakes would also be funny dipper.
