Chocolate mousse- sort of
I got this recipe from my uncle Arthur, who is a baker by profession, and it's both quick and easy to make. This is enough for 6 people. Keep the portions small and make this about fruit with chocolate, not chocolate with fruit, but it is so creamy and sinful.
Method

Step 1
Let the cream come to the boil, take off the heat and then add the dark chocolate directly. Stir until melted — it will take a while. Leave to cool off completely, overnight or minimum 5 hours in the fridge.

Step 2
Whip as if you were making whipped cream — a whisk is actually enough, but otherwise use the hand mixer. It takes less than 30 seconds. Spoon into the serving dishes and add fruit.
Good to know
Instead of the cardamom, you can use the zest of a whole orange. Vanilla extract also works. Add extra salt or a bit of caramel, or use 1/2 tsp of chili or 2 tbsp of rum. Play with the recipe and just keep an eye on those portion sizes.
