When I think of the perfect dessert to enjoy with a loved one on Valentines Day, I envision something effortlessly simple, indulgent and delicious. Chocolate is the first thing that springs to mind, and with it this super easy chocolate mousse recipe.
It can be whipped up at the very last minute, requires minimal prep work (which means less clean up) and can be left to it’s own devices as it sets in the fridge. No crème brulee torches in sight!
Add some edible rose petals and Charbonnel Et Walker champagne truffles to make it even more romantic and you’ve got a dessert to impress.
