Method
Crush
the oreo biscuits in a blender and transfer to a bowl. Melt butter, cool and
add to the bowl. Mix till all the crumbs are coated well with butter.
Divide
into 6 equal portions and put them in the cup in which you wish to set the
mousse. Use the back of a spoon to press it into the bottom of the cup. Set in
freezer for 15 minutes.
Soak
gelatin in water for 5 minutes. Heat in microwave for 10 seconds so the gelatin
dissolves in the water completely.
In
a heat proof bowl mix chocolate and cream and melt in the microwave for a
minute. Stir well. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir each time and repeat the
process till all the chocolate is melted and no lumps are left. Add the gelatin
mixture and whisk for a minute using a hand blender.
Cool
down the chocolate to room temperature and then fold in the whipped cream into
the chocolate until whole mixture is the same color and no streaks are seen. Be
gentle, take your time to fold in. Do not use the blender.
Pour
the mousse into the cups with biscuit base. Set in freezer for 30 minutes.
Add
the jelly on top and set in fridge till serving time. Serve chilled.
Points
to remember:
·
The
chocolate mousse recipe can be used on its own or as a part of other
desserts.
·
The
taste of the mousse depends on the quality of chocolate and cream that
