Nadiya Hussain Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Recipe | Time to Eat BBC
Description: This heavenly hazelnut chocolate mousse is the ultimate family favourite dessert recipe, and as if you weren’t tempted enough, it is super quick and simple to make.
Ingredients
- 200g chocolate hazelnut spread
- 50ml whole milk
- 600ml double cream
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
- 100g roasted chopped hazelnuts
- whippy cream, from a can, to serve (optional)
- cocoa powder for dusting, if you feel like it
Instructions
- Pop the chocolate hazelnut spread into a bowl with the milk and heat in the microwave in 10-second bursts until the mixture is runny and viscous, but not steaming hot. This should not take more than 20 seconds. Set aside to cool.
- Put the cream into a large bowl with the cornflour and icing sugar and begin whipping. As soon as it begins to thicken, pour in the chocolate mixture and keep whipping until you have stiff peaks.
- Fold through the hazelnuts (keeping a tablespoon back for decorating), then spoon into a serving dish or individual ramekins. If you want it to look extra special, you can pipe the mousse in.
- Serve with whippy cream if desired, with an extra sprinkling of hazelnuts on top and a dusting of cocoa powder.
