Make This 5 Ingredient Decadent Chocolate Mousse

By Devi Poojari

Deceptively simple and made with minimal ingredients right from your pantry, this rich chocolate mousse is one you’ll come back for over and over.

INGREDIENTS

50 grams dark chocolate 1.5 teaspoon cornstarch 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla Pinch of salt

METHOD

Break the chocolate into small pieces and add it to a heavy bottomed saucepan along with the milk. Allow it to melt gently. Spoon a tablespoon’s worth of the chocolatey milk into a small bowl and whisk together the cornstarch to avoid any lumps.

METHOD

Add the slurry back to the pan with the chocolate milk and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and turn glossy. Turn off the heat and add in the butter, salt and vanilla. Whisk everything together and pour into a stemmed glass or shot glasses. Chill in the fridge for a minimum of 10 minutes and serve, topped with fresh berries or more chocolate shavings.
