We think Fridays call for a little something chocolate-y over here at HerFamily HQ.
And if you feel the same way (and why wouldn’t you?!), we have just the treat to make sure your weekend gets off to a flying – and delicious – start.
This silky smooth, chocolate mousse is made using Mars bars, and if that wasn’t enough to tempt you, how about the fact that it only takes a few short minutes to whip up?
Whisks at the ready!
Ingredients
- 4 standard Mars Bars, chopped into pieces
- 50ml milk
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 large egg whites
- chocolate shavings, to decorate
Method
- Put the Mars bars, milk and cocoa in a heavy-based saucepan. Cook over a very gentle heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool for 15 minutes, whisking frequently with a wire whisk to blend in any pieces of fudge that rise to the surface, to leave a smooth mixture.
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until softly peaking. Using a metal spoon, fold a quarter of the whites into the chocolate sauce to lighten it, then fold in the remainder.
- Turn the mixture into six small cups, glasses or ramekins and chill in the fridge to set, for at least 2 hours, before serving. Serve topped with chocolate shavings.
