As far as fruit goes, cherries are kind of in their own league! With their juicy sweet flavour and rich ruby colour, they elevate any dish and this Cherry Chocolate Mousse Tart is no exception. It's an absolute showstopper and the best part is that achieving the 4 glorious layers requires just 7 ingredients!The base is a simple chocolate cookie crust, which is topped with a layer of fresh cherry halves. Next is a simple 2-ingredient chocolate mousse, followed by dollops of thick Chantilly cream. To crown it all off, a generous amount of beautiful fresh cherries! And there you...

The Paris Brest was created in 1910 by Chef Louis Durand and is simply a ring of choux pastry that is filled (traditionally with a praline mousseline cream) and decorated with almonds. The origin of the name is an old bicycle race between Paris and the city of Brest in Brittany - the circular shape of the pastry is intended to represent a bicycle wheel. I decided to fill mine with an easy chocolate mousse, which is deliciously creamy and rich with the crunchy pastry, and not too sweet.Choux pastry, unlike other pastries, is a rather wet dough that bakes into a light and crisp...

Every now and then, an occasion calls for a stunning showstopper of a dessert. I'm talking about a Masterchef-worthy creation! This one is a chocoholic's dream come true. These Triple Chocolate Mousse Domes have a crunchy chocolate biscuit base, creamy milk chocolate mousse filling with a white chocolate ganache centre, and coated in a dark chocolate mirror glaze decorated with caramelised cacao nibs. Could you cram any more chocolate into one dessert? I think not! The five components do take some time to make but all can be made in advance and simply assembled before serving. Ingredients: (Makes 6) Chocolate Biscuits: 90g butter, softened (6tbsp) 100g castor sugar (7...

Let me just begin by saying chocolate mousse is my absolute favourite dessert. Nothing is quite as satisfying as a rich, creamy, melt-in-the-mouth chocolate mousse to end a meal. There are various ways of making a mousse and I have experimented with a few recipes. There are those that use egg whites and cream, then those that use egg whites and egg yolks but no cream, and then my personal favourite which makes use of all three! Cream is essential to give a nice smooth texture, and egg whites give the light, airy feel to the mousse. The egg yolks add...
