directions
Step 1
Place the chocolate in a mixing bowl. Heat the cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer and then pour over the chocolate. Let this sit a minute and then gently stir, then switching to a whisk until the chocolate is melted and the cream smooth. Add flavouring as desired. Chill.
Step 2
Whisk the chocolate cream by hand or using beaters until a mousse consistency. Spoon or pipe this into glasses and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
