MEXICAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
I am a fan of chocolate mousse and especially like the kind made in Mexican restaurants. I created this recipe because I wanted a mousse that didn't contain eggs or alcohol. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

Steps:
- 1) In a small pot, melt 1 tablet of Mexican chocolate in the milk on medium heat. Stir frequently until tablet is dissolved and mixture is free of large clumps. Add salt. Mixture may appear grainy. Take off heat and set aside to cool.
- 2) In a large bowl, stir cocoa powder and nstant pudding mix. Slowly add whipping cream to dry mix. Beat on high until mixture thickens. Add chocolate/milk/salt mixture and beat on high until fluffy. Chocolate mixture may be warm when added.
- 3) Fill cups and chill 2-3 hours. I find the mousse tastes even better after at least 6 hours in the fridge. Can be topped with whip cream or cool whip.

If you want to make Mexican Chocolate Mousse, be sure to follow these tips for best results:
Tips:
- Use good-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will be.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and easily.
- Don't over-whip the cream. Over-whipped cream will be grainy and won't hold its shape.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Over-mixing will deflate the mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Mexican Chocolate Mousse is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties or gatherings. The combination of chocolate, rum, and spices gives this mousse a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone.
