CHOCOLATE CHERRY MOUSSE

Chocolate Cherry Mousse


 

Absolutely gorgeous and rich, but not too sweet, this airy mousse is a beautiful ending to a summer supper.

Perfect with raspberries, blackberries or strawberries, too...

2 ounces unsweetened solid chocolate, chopped
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoons cherry liqueur or sugar free cherry syrup
1/2 cup Splenda
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup diced fresh cherries
6 whole cherries with stems for garnish
Melt the chopped chocolate, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and cherry syrup in the microwave at 30 second intervals, whisking in between, until melted and very smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl combine the remaining 1 cup cream, Splenda, almond, and vanilla extract - beat with an electric mixture until soft peaks form.

Beat 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well blended to lighten the mixture, then carefully fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Gently fold in diced cherries.

Divide into 6 dessert glasses and chill for at least one hour. Garnish with a whole, fresh cherry. Makes six servings.
