Nigella lawson's instant chocolate mousse.

This recipe is so effortless yet successful in every manner. I am a HUGE fan of Nigella Lawson. She is a great cook and a wonderful host. I have tried a lot of  her recipes and can say without a doubt they are the best. You can be sure to yield the exact same result as shown in the pictures or described in the recipe. 

What you need :


  • 50 grams ( ½ stick ) soft butter
  • 250 grams good dark chocolate chopped into small pieces
  • 60 ml hot water ( ¼ cup ), make sure it is hot
  • 284 ml ( 1cup ) double cream
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150  grams ( 1 ½ cups ) mini marshmallows

Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in a heavy-based saucepan.
Put the saucepan on the gas, over heat, though keep it fairly gentle, to melt the contents, stirring every now and again. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, whip the cream with the vanilla extract until thick, and then fold into the cooling chocolate mixture until you have a smooth mixture.
Pour or scrape into 4 glasses or ramekins, about 175ml / ¾ cup each in capacity, or 6 smaller (125ml / ½ cup) ones, and chill until you want to eat. The sooner the better!

I garnished with some chocolate chips and grated white chocolate. And we are done!
