A good chef …..always cleans up her own mess! (…this was the rule in my house growing up!)
Chop nuts to decorate the glasses!
Fold together and add melted chocolate…..

That sounds delicious — a quite unusual way to make the classic dessert! I’ve never seen the use of creme pat in it.

Lesson learned….NEVER turn on the Kitchen Maid Mixer to a high speed after adding confectionalry sugar!! (ha,ha!)
If I make this again….I’d serve it in smaller glasses….this is a large portion of a very ‘intense’ , rich dessert. You and Fran were standing next to me….all the time! 🙂

I love Rachel Khoo!! I made a few of her recipes last week to blog about but I take horrendous food photos, so that post will not see the light of day, it would be an insult to Chef Khoo. LOL. Your mousse looks amazing!!
