Eggless Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients for 6 people:   - 3.5 ounces (100 g) dark chocolate (70% chocolate) - 5 ounces (150 ml) heavy (thick) cream - 1 ounces (25 g) sugar

Recipe:

• Break the chocolate into pieces and then melt it, using just enough heat to gently melt the chocolate (see note 1). Stir the chocolate with a wooden spoon as it is melting.

• While the chocolate is melting, add the sugar to the cream and then whip the cream until it is foamy.

• Once the chocolate is melted, "fold" in the whipped cream.

• Spoon the mixture into attractive glasses. Place the glasses in a refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, to allow the chocolate to cool.
