Chocolate Orange And Hazelnut Mousse
- 6-1/4 ounces, weight Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange (or Any Kind Of Orange Flavoured Chocolate), Broken Into Small Pieces
- 2-2/3 ounces, weight Marshmallows, Cut Into Small Pieces
- 1 ounces, weight Butter, Softened
- 2 tablespoons, 1-1/2 pinches Hot Water, From A Recently Boiled Kettle
- 10 tablespoons, 7 pinches Double Cream
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- A Handful Of Chopped Hazelnuts
- Fill a medium-sized pan with water so that it is a qaurter full. Heat the water to boiling point and then turn the heat down to a low simmer. Place a bowl on top of the saucepan. The bowl will need to be heat resistant and sit comfortably on the saucepan's rim, leaving a gap between the bottom of the bowl and the boiling water/bottom of the saucepan. This is sometimes known as a 'bain marie'.
- Add to the bowl the chocolate, marshmallows, butter and hot water. Heat until all the ingredients have dissolved and fully combined. You should be left with a nice thick chocolatey sauce. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whip cream and vanilla extract together until the mixture forms soft peaks. Then, fold in your cooling chocolate mixture.
- Once mixture is smooth and cohesive, spoon into two glasses or large ramekins and place in the fridge to chill for a short time.
- Just before serving, sprinkle on some chopped hazelnuts.
