This chocolate mousse recipe is courtesy of Bill Granger and is the most insanely rich chocolate mousse ever. Infact it serves 6 and uses almost half a kilo of dark chocolate. Madness! Yet it’s so damn good, especially when I go heavy handed on the obligatory splash of brandy… On top of that, the fresh rasberries and the whipped cream with a splash of orange blossom water, lighten and contrast the chocolate making it infinitely easier to keep on devouring. Bill serves his in coffee cups, which makes sense, but I only had old mismatched tea cups and that worked fine for me. Enjoy! Oh and if you want another great chocolate mousse try this one. It here on Growling belly and very very popular.

There was enough leftovers for Sunday supper too. Mmmmm…
