DECADENT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

(RECIPE POSTED BY LOIS APPLESAUCE)

 This recipe is so decadent and be sure to save some for the next day...it just keeps getting better the longer it's chilled.

INGREDIENTS
300 g (1 1/2 cups) dark chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp milk
6 egg yolks
100 g (scant 1/4 cup) confectioner's sugar
500 ml (2 cups) thickened cream
Fresh berries (optional) to serve

DIRECTIONS:
Place chocolate and milk in a heat proof bowl, set over a saucepan of boiling water and stir constantly until melted and smooth (mixture will be quite thick).
Remove and cool slightly. Place yolks and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes, until thick and creamy.
Beat cream with an electric mixer in a bowl then gently fold through chocolate mixture with a spatula until just combined.
Spoon into 12 x 1/2 cup capacity dishes and chill for 4 hours, until set. Serve with fresh berries if desired.
