Cook with Us #11 – Chocolate Coffee Mousse - Dianadee-Style / Desserts / Entertaining

I absolutely loved creating this "Chocolate Coffee Mousse - Dianadee-Style" for Cook with Us #11.

Thanks to @cookwithus for this opportunity to take part with other amazing contestants!:) Also to the extra people who help to judge and organise the contest..appreciate your input!

I used my cheese slicer to shave down the white chocolate, to give it more of a larger flaked appeal for the decoration.

The cream like topping is actually a little of the ideal milk, frozen ..took a little out before mixing it in the chocolate mixture etc.

By the way the large serving bowl is actually, crystal, given to us for a wedding present, many moons ago! I really love chocolate desserts as they are popular with most people..unless you are on a diet, of course!

This goes well in a buffet style lunch.

Easy to make, the day before too..for some special friends, or birthday celebration. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish!

I added some cinnamon for a more exotic overall taste too and a little extra coffee. The blended ingredients melt together and do not jar the senses.

Try this recipe..you will not be disappointed.

1 large tin evaporated milk (chilled)
1 tablespoon gelatine

Slab of milky bar chocolate / for grating or curling.
I teaspoon vanilla essence

Method
