MINT WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Sinful and light mint chocolate mousse

This concoction is a variation of another white chocolate mousse, which is a variation of a dark rum chocolate mousse. It was invented for a friend's birthday, which happens to be on St. Patrick's Day. We were sitting around the day before, planning the celebration, and I offered to bring some white mousse. Someone suggested it should be green, in honor of the occasion. I came up with the perfect way to make green chocolate mousse....

Ingredients

(serves 4)

Procedure

  1. Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. When melted, stir in the creme de menthe. Let it cool a bit, and stir in 2 1/2 Tbsp of cream. Let cool.
  2. Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold the chocolate-creme-cream mixture into the beaten egg whites.
  3. Whip the remaining cream, until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites-chocolate mixture into the whipped cream.
  4. Spoon carefully into small bowls or cups, and chill for about two hours.
