Chocolate Truffle Pots
Ingredients
-
50g dark chocolate
-
100ml double cream
-
3 tbsp Champagne
-
Chocolate shavings, to garnish
Method
-
These indulgent puds are easy to whip up at short notice. Melt 50g dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of just-simmering water. Set aside to cool a little.
-
Whisk 100ml double cream until holding soft peaks. Whisk the chocolate into the cream, a little at a time.
-
Add 3 tbsp Champagne and mix well. Add more Champagne if needed, to get the right consistency - the mousse should be soft enough to pour but thick enough to eat straight awa
-
Pour into small pots and serve immediately, garnished with chocolate shavings, or chill for up to 24 hours. (You could use a mix of Champagne and Kirsch to make Kir Royale truffle pots, or add a shot of brandy for a Champagne cocktail mousse.)
