Any occasion worth celebrating deserves a flashy spread of sweets. Simple to make but visually elegant, this chocolate mousse is the perfect addition to a night of festivities. A splash of brandy goes a long way, adding a sweet oaky flavor to the light-as-air dessert. With or without the gold sugar sprinkles, it's an eye-catcher!

Directions

Step 1

In a saucepan, warm 1 cup of the cream on low heat until bubbles start to appear around the edges.

Step 2

Add the chocolate chips and stir gently until the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is well combined.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks and brandy and stir well. Add the butter and continue stirring until the butter has melted and the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

Transfer the chocolate mixture to small ramekins or glass jars. Leave about an inch of space at the top of each.

Step 5

Place mousse in the fridge for an hour until set.

Step 6

By hand or with an electric mixer, whisk the sugar and remaining 1 cup of cream until you achieve soft peaks. Remove the mousse from the refrigerator and decorate with a dollop of the whipped cream and gold sugar sprinkles, if desired.

Since my husband can't drink alcohol due to the meds he's on, can I substitute an extract instead?

You are welcome to just leave the alcohol out entirely, Kim, or you can add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract in it's place if you prefer!

A2 is the next best thing. There is only one stores here in Nevada that sell its. (Sprouts ). many times I go there and they are out of it. Sure would love to see you stock our shelves. We will be sharing Your Chocolate Mousse Recipe with friends New years day. I am forever on line looking for new recipes. Truly Appreciate your style for writing your recipes. I have never been a fan of the paragraph Style. Step by step instructions are so much easer to follow. With God's greatest Blessings Sincerely Loretta A. Kinkenon
