ABOUT THIS EASY PEASY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE DESSERT

This delicious No-Cook Chocolate dessert is loaded with the right amount of indulgence and you are sure to reach out for more. A few years ago, I watched Mary Berry make Chocolate mousse on television. Ever since then I had been wanting to make some.

When I mentioned about Mary Berry Chocolate Mousse to my old English neighbour, she handed me over a handwritten note with a recipe for classic Mousse with Chocolate. I have been following this recipe for years and it never fails me.

Using this Mousse recipe as one of the elements, I have created these indulgent parfait jars.

Bittersweet chocolate adds a lot of depth to this classic, light-as-air, make-ahead dessert that never disappoints.

It is a very easy dessert, however the recipe has three steps.

1 – Preparing the biscuit base
