CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler at a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the espresso powder and mix to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
- Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla to soft peaks in a large bowl, then let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whip the egg whites in a separate large bowl until they hold soft peaks. Set aside.
- Take a large spoonful of the egg whites and mix into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold the remaining egg whites in. Fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks appear. Divide among glasses or bowls. Top with Blackberry Sauce, grated chocolate and whipped cream, if using.
- Combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the berries soften and break down, about 10 minutes. Mash the berries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add the liqueur and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve. Let cool slightly before using.

FAVORITE CRANBERRY MOUSSE
We live about 100 miles from Cape Cod, which is known for its cranberries. When we spent a weekend there, we toured the Cranberry World Visitors Center, which is where I found this recipe. When I made it for our fellowship group at church, everyone wanted the recipe. You'll be surprised it's so easy to make with just four ingredients.

CREAMIEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
This is one of the best chocolate mousses I've ever tried. It's so creamy (o.k. probably extremely fattening but holiday calories never count, do they?)I personally make the mousse without any alcohol added. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra special effect.

Steps:
- Whisk yolks and salt to blend in medium bowl. Bring milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Gradually whisk hot milk into yolk mixture; return to same pan. Stir over low heat until custard thickens, about 1 minute (do not boil). Remove from heat; add chocolate. Whisk until chocolate melts and mousse base is smooth; whisk in rum. Cool 45 minutes.
- Beat 3/4 cup cream in bowl until peaks form; fold into mousse base. Cover; chill at least 4 hours.
- Beat 3/4 cup cream in another bowl until peaks form. Drop 1 1/2 tablespoons chutney into each dessert dish. Top with 1/2 cup mousse, 1 1/2 tablespoons chutney, a dollop of whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. Cover; chill up to 1 day.
Tips:
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped so that it melts smoothly.
- Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the mousse tough.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the mousse less airy.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- Serve the mousse with fresh cranberries, cranberry sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Conclusion:
This chocolate mousse with cranberry sauce is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of rich chocolate and tart cranberries is sure to impress your guests.
