Hello, GALady

Thank you for today’s “sweet chocolaty” reminder!

When young, I’d make this yummy French chocolate dessert for the entire family at least once a month.

“Pot De Crème Au Chocolate Mousse”
Pronounced: “poe duh crem (not "cream") oh chocolah moose”… lol

(As soon as we learned to read, mother handed us her vintage “Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook,” and set my sister and me upon a domestic path of drudgery.

Father built, then painted, in various colors several 12x12x12 inch wooden boxes, to elevate us above the kitchen stove and sink.

I remember, before bedtime, standing bemoaning my little red step stool, as I tackled and struggled to wash nightmarish stacks of dirty dinner dishes, pots, and pans, while my poor younger brother teetered alongside on his larger orange box, laboring to keep pace drying and putting away clean ones … lol.)

By the way, this tasty dessert is rich, and dainty portions are recommended.

1 bar (4 ounces (0.15 kg)) sweet cooking chocolate**
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup sugar (for the mousse)
1/2 cup light cream
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Heat chocolate, 1 tablespoon sugar and cream over medium heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Gradually beat into egg yolks. Stir in vanilla.

Beat 2 egg whites until foamy. Beat in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Fold into chocolate mixture.

Pour into petite parfait glasses. Chill. If desired, garnish with whipped cream.

6 to 8 servings.

(**Baker’s German’s Chocolate Bars compliments this recipe.)
 
I do like chocolate but I eat it in spells. I have stocked up for when those spells come. :) I've got Russell Stover sugar free candies in mint patties, pecan delights and coconut. I also just bought a box of Ferrero Rocher (48 pieces) from Costco and have several Bueno minis left.

Got a spare $133,000? Consider purchasing this entirely edible chocolate bathroom. We’re talking a bathtub, toilet, sink, basin and bidet all made of 100 percent Belgian chocolate. 😲

Created as a funny response to the fact that online shoppers looking to buy a new bathroom suite are commonly misspelling the word and searching for bathroom “sweets,” Bathrooms.com partnered with British chocolatier Choccywoccydoodah to create this lavish edible bathroom.

PHOTO: This entire bathroom is made of chocolate and available for purchase.
