Great recipe. Me and my family loved it. Very quick to whip up at the end of the day

I was wondering could this mousse be used to make a chocolate mousse cake, bottom layer chocolate cake with the top layer mousse? would it hold a cake shape without putting it in the fridge? Thanks

Hi all. Really want to make this into a Mocha mouse. How much coffee/espresso would you recommend? Also, when would I add the coffee? Melt with the chocolate? Going to try adding the mouse as a filling for Mocha cupcakes.

Not bad at all… Except I suggest allowing the chocolate mixture to cool a little before folding through. Unless you are hopeless and it takes you twenty minutes to get from step 2 to step 3. I completed the recipe pretty quickly. Very tasty!!! Nice with (of course) strawberries…

Hey I was just wondering what cream I should use as the recipe says heavy cream so should I use thickened cream or normal cream? Otherwise saw this on TV and totally forgot about it thanks for the recipe

This did not turn out right, maybe you’re missing something, because it was working fine until i had to combine it and then the cream loss it’s consistency in the chocolate mixture. Maybe the chocolate has to cool completely before adding the cream

I made this with double cream and when I beat it it went very quickly into almost a butter like texture and I stopped beating therefore immediately.
On the previous occasion I used everyday thickened cream and it was much better I believe.
The double cream is very thick to begin with and I used a Breville whiz to beat it and wondered if that was my error.

i saw this recipe in one of nigella tv shows.

well too bad it’s difficult for me to make one,most marshmallow here in indonesia are imported goods and no halal mark in it,:(

i guess at this moment i have to use that kind of old recipe.

Thanks so much for the tips on this recipe, next time I’ll use double the cream, and let the chocolate cool before combining as mine also went runny first time. Isn’t it the best recipe – great for those with egg allergies too.
