Wren's Hippo Pot de Mousse Recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I am so very ashamed of myself. Of course I should NEVER

have offered my recipe offlist! (I knew better Rhonda!! Please

forgive me!! LOL ) Here it is.

{ah-hem, cough, cough} Now, you know, each and every one of you that

makes this has to share with me, right???? )

Hippo Pot de Mousse

Recipe from Boynton, children's book author, adapted by Wren

Olszewski ~Jan 1998~

6 oz (semi-sweet, milk, bittersweet and/or unsweetened, like

Baker's ) chocolate, or whichever of the chocolates you prefer,

in whatever combination you desire

2 cups heavy cream, well chilled

1 tsp almond extract

Stevia extract to taste if you use all Baker's Chocolate – not too

much as this should have bite.

1. Melt chocolate and Stevia in microwave (sorry Anne!) or double

broiler. Do not burn.

2. While chocolate cools, whip cream and almond extract together

until stiff.

3. Gently fold in cooled chocolate; there will be flecks of

chocolate in the mixture.

4. Pour gently into parfait or decorative cups and chill for 1 hour

before serving.

Enjoy! I hear that if you jog in place while this chills, you will

have effectively nixed all calories! )

Wren,

Oh Man! That sounds wonderful! Now I wished I hadn't used up all my

cream on making butter and ice cream ;o) Well, there's always next

week!

Thank you for the recipe! (with only the 2 of us, I think I'd better

cut that recipe down or I'll have a tummy ache for sure)

who's been microwaveless for about a month now and not really missing

it
