Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe
180g (6.35 ounces) dark chocolate

180g (6.35 ounces) milk chocolate
60millilitres (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup water
Extra 60millilitres (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup cold water from the fridge
White Chocolate Mousse
180g (6.35 ounces) white chocolate
60millilitres (2.03 fluid ounces) or 1/4 cup water
Extra 40millilitres (1.35 fluid ounces) or 2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp cold water from the fridge
Place the chocolate of your choice and the 60ml of water into a bowl. Microwave on high heat on full power for 30 seconds, stir well. Heat for another 20 seconds and stir again. The mixture should be smooth with all the chocolate melted. If you still have unmelted chocolate give it 10 seconds more in the microwave.
Put the mixture into a plastic bag, seal at the top and flatten. Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Flattening it in the bag increases the surface area so it cools down more quickly than it would in the bowl.
Whip the chilled chocolate mixture on high speed using electric mixers until smooth and paler. Add a little of the cold water at a time.
Pour or pipe into glasses. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and serve. Super easy!
