italian dark chocolate mousse
I love all the flavors in this mousse. The rum is subtle in the flavors so not to worry that it would be overpowering. You have to chill the mousse overnight to set up everything well and gives it the perfect mousse form. This is great served with Italian cookies, and garnished with . whip cream, raspberries, cherries, shaved chocolate, mint leaves and also pirouettes. Makes a great filling to a cake as well.
