Eggless Chocolate Mousse

Mousse is any product which is airy and fluffy; scientifically air is incorporated into solid. There is a wide variation of recipes for mousse, few contain whole eggs, some only yolks or whites.  Here is a recipe for you which contains no eggs.

This recipe is not super light weight mousse as it contains yoghurt and condensed milk. The yoghurt imparts that small tinge of sourness which complements the mousse beautifully.

I have not taken step by step photos of this recipe but will walk you through it. It is easy to prepare, so ask your kids to participate and they will enjoy it.

This mousse calls for dark chocolate, but I have used plain galaxy milk bars that were in my pantry. So, it tasted like galaxy.

This recipe makes 4 cups of mousse. One serving provides approximately 517 Calories.

Here is what you’ll need:

200 gm yoghurt

100 gm dark/milk chocolate

2 cup whipped cream

Chopped roasted almonds

Method:

1. Take yoghurt in a muslin cloth and tie it. Hang it for half an hour till all the water is drained.

3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. ( Break the chocolate pieces in a bowl, keep this in a pan of boiling water over flame)

5. To this add the melted chocolate and stir well.
