One night I had a serious craving for chocolate mousse. The recipe I normally make is from Julia Child’s cookbook, but you have to make it the day before (or wait 8 hours) and there are many steps… Let’s just say it’s something you make for friends who you really love. So I decided to do a little experiment, and was shocked at how amazing it turned out! And what’s better – I didn’t even have to add sugar (sorry, dietitian moment). The coffee and sea salt intensify the flavour of the chocolate. To-die-for. And it takes no time to make. Dangerous, I know.
