I apologize for the lack of posts over the past month. Everything has been going great here in DC--so many wonderful things have happened, but unfortunately they have taken away from my blogging. Womp.
In the spirit of a recent discussion with food bloggers and with Thanksgiving just behind us, I want to revive my blog and return to posting more regularly. I only have a month of school left before winter break when I know I'll be doing a lot of baking with my mom and brother; I can't wait!
Today I'd like to feature a recipe I finally made a few weeks ago for a dear friend's birthday celebration: chocolate mousse with coffee whipped cream.
Today I'd like to feature a recipe I finally made a few weeks ago for a dear friend's birthday celebration: chocolate mousse with coffee whipped cream.
This recipe has been in my mom's recipe book ever since I can remember--it's called "Ro-Ro's Chocolate Mousse (Not Judy's)." Ro-Ro is my mom's mom, Rosalie, and Judy is her sister. Regardless of the true owner of the recipe, it is absolutely delicious. The sweet mousse with the intense coffee whipped cream is a match made in heaven. I had some left over chocolate chips and decided to make a ganache as a final touch. Perfection.
Ideally I would serve the mousse in some sort of elegant glass parfait dish, but as a college student I did the best with my limited resources and used these blue bowls. Although this dessert may not look beautiful, it's how it tastes that counts. And boy, did it taste good!
Coming soon: Thanksgiving deliciousness!
