[Sca-cooks] Selene and Kiri's Dreaded Chocolate Mousse

Kiri replied to me with:

No, this and mousse aren't even close. A mousse is more like a dessert <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

that's made mostly with eggs, butter and sugar that has the "bejesus" 

whipped out of it to make it light and fluffy...it's frequently similar 

in texture to whipped cream, only a little heavier. If you haven't tried 

Selene's Dreaded Chocolate Mousse, you're missing one of the great joys 

of life.

No, I haven't tried making this.

By the way, Selene, I made it for our 4th of July party, 

completely low carb. I used Splenda for the sugar and rasberry extract 

(Boyjian...so it was very high quality stuff), 

<<<<

Since I should watch the sugar, I probably should try your version.

So...Recipe please?

Is the raspberry in the original (Selene's) recipe or something you've added? Is it necessary?

 

Do I need a mixer to make this? Or can it be made without one, as I still don't have one? Perhaps with an egg beater?

>>>

and no one could tell 

that I hadn't made it the regular way. It wasn't really low fat as I did 

use real butter...I was afraid to substitute that. Maybe somewhere down 

the line, I'll try using part Smart Balance and part butter. But good stuff!
