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

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Original recipe is now at:  http://home.earthlink.net/~selene/id8.html
Jared has updated my online recipe files, most of the major desserts are 
there now.

Other scary chocolate delights include Professor Ed's Fudge, the fudge 
recipe from CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, Angel Chip Cookies and Rocky Road. 
 Somewhat more peri-oid treats include Maids Of Honor [our first date!], 
Scotch Shortbread and Lemon Amaretto Ice.  An experiment in comic 
dialect about Apple Kissel.

Yes, some people really have done the Mousse whisking by hand when the 
power went out at their house, and it still works.  But use a stand 
mixer if you have access to one.

I'm frankly astonished that the Splenda worked.  Did you have to open up 
a mort of yellow packets for this??!

I'm going to have to try the raspberry, and try to find the fiori di 
Sicilia.  That's a new one on me.  Hey, this is an educational 
organization, go ahead,  make me learn!

I suspect orange would be excellent as well, not to mention a flavoring I discovered while making Christmas stuff...fiori di Sicilia...flowers of Sicily.  Think vanilla with a dash of citrus...yummy!!!
