Love is big business. But today I want to feature a simple recipe - it doesn't matter if you have a partner, a friend, a spouse, or a child, that you want to show some love to. This is a simple dessert and not too heavy. It would make a nice parent and older child project, too, if you use something other than the bourbon or rum.
Valentines Day Easy and Light Mousse. (Sorry, metric folks, I did not convert). Note, this does have eggs in it.
In the meantime, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in microwave. They will still look whole, but they are melted. Stir them. Then, combine with the liquid well. If desired add 1 tbsp of "Just Great Stuff" (powered peanut butter).
Beat your three egg whites, with 1/8 tsp cream of tarter, until stiff peaks form.
Then, gently fold in the chocolate mixture.
Divide into two (or four) dessert glasses, chill until nice and firm (perhaps two-three hours), and serve.
Yes, I know. I am using raw egg whites! Well, if this bothers you (one reason why I am using farm esh eggs from a small farmholder), you can use pasteurized egg whites But it won't turn out as good, in my opinion.
Do you have a favorite dessert for Valentines Day?
Oh, Alana, that looks so incredibly delicious! Hope you and your fella have an incredible Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteWe did, Bethany. He's such a good cook!
DeleteYummy. I try and stay away from recipe blogs because they make me so hungry. I want to try everything I see. Thanks for sharing your recipe and it does sound very easy to make and probably worthy of Valentines - day of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteJust to reassure you, this is not usually a recipe blog. It is easy, and you don't even need to use the powdered peanut butter.
DeleteThanks for sharing this recipe. Shall try it. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
DeleteI've eaten this in the past, but wouldn't do so now. It's strange the way chocolate has become linked with Valentines Day, with love, with caring. I saw the cocoa trees with their beans growing on a Carribean island about ten years ago. The product is grated and used to flavour the sweet confection people crave now.
ReplyDeleteI have visited a couple of sub tropical gardens in Florida but I don't think I've ever seen a cacao tree. I did read about cacao cultivation in a YA series and I am amazed at the amount of skill it takes.
