Hostess with the most-ess, obvs xox

I genuinely think this might be the easiest dessert I’ve ever made? This glorious chocolate mousse is made with only 2 ingredients and just tastes like the richest chocolate ganache EVER, without all the dairy for my lactose-intol girlies. This is the sort of thing you can make if you fancy a little sweet treat, or if you have some unexpected guests pop over and stay for a BBQ in the sunshine. That never really seems to happen, but atleast if it does you have a little dessert up your sleeve, and both of the ingredients can be kept in the cupboard for months. Please just make sure you do some research into your chocolate, and use a VG/DF one if that’s what you need. I like to use a pretty dark one for this recipe but I’ve put the conversions for white and milk below the recipe, ’cause the quantities change slightly with the different chocs.

I know most of you will read the ingredients for this and be like ‘tofu in a dessert? ugh’ but I promise you it’s worth it. It just gives the chocolate this gloriously silky texture and doesn’t add anything to the flavour, so it’s a win/win! So you get the super intense flavour of whatever chocolate you use. When I’m making these little pots with dark chocolate, I tend to go for a 65% chocolate – for me, that’s the right level of bitter richness. Make sure you conduct some seriously scientific experiments (buy every chocolate bar you see until you find one that’s juuuuuust right) because the flavour of your chocolate really shines through here.

Gotta have some CROUNCH

Only thing this delicious little chocolate number is missing is that all important CROUNCH. I was scouring the back of the cupboard for what I could top these little babies with, and found 2 half used tubs of sesame seeds – one white, one black. Does anyone remember those little Sesame Snap biscuits from when they were a kid? This brittle basically tastes exactly like that, and adds a lot of sweetness when you’re using a bitter chocolate. For the love of GOD please don’t touch it when it’s hot though, we don’t want anyone ending up in A&E bab – this stuff will stick to your skin and not come off.
