I am a chocoholic and this dish definitely satisfies my chocolate cravings.
I had attempted to make mousse before when I was younger but couldn’t get the recipe quite right, but then I realised that I was making life difficult for myself and that to make a mousse you really don’t need too much skills or knowledge.
This is such a tasty pudding that you will be asking for more.
Ingredients

- 170g dark chocolate
- 240ml double cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 100g salted caramel sauce
- 100ml cream whipped
- 80g pecan nuts toasted

Me and my daughter had so much fun making this, ending up wearing more of the chocolate than what was in the bowl. It was a wonderful chocolatey mess, and it’s the making it that is the best bit for me, especially when my little one helps x
I would love to see pics of your chocolate mousse and find out how you got on.
To make the sundae a bit more like a traditional sundae you could add a spoon of icecream, this just adds to the yummy dessert something special.
Enjoy! Xx
