Many posts ago, I wrote about making some Nutella Cupcakes and Chocolate Mousse. It was a success!! In August, while I was flipping through my collection of recipes. It reminded me of the awesome low fat chocolate mousse that I made.
So I tried to recreate that awesomeness again.. BUT it did not happen. I spent the whole month trying to recreate it. Nothing came close!! I was cloe to pulling my hair out!
The mousse did not set, I end up having chocolate milk or I have over heat it and curdles. After which, many hours were spent over the stove just so that I can re-create it.
In a spur of frustration, I decided that I could and should mix it up since its hopeless. I pour in some chocolate chips and a wee bit of gelatine hoping to make it somehow jelly like texture.
Oh well, left them over night in the fridge. Who knows.. it worked!! The mousse turns over velvety smooth and creamy too. I now have to work at it again because I don't know how much of what I've poured into the mousse mix.
FML.
