Ingredients
1/2cupBoiling water
4tbspCocoa Powder
1 1/2cupSemi Sweet Chocolate Chips
2cupsHeavy Whipping Cream
2tbspPowdered Sugar
Instructions
Bloom the cocoa by combining it with the hot water and stirring until smooth.
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Add the bloomed cocoa and stir until smooth again. Let this mixture cool.
Fold your whipped cream gently into the cooled chocolate, preserving as much of the air as you can.
Refrigerate until time to frost the cooled cake.
Notes
The use of powdered sugar will include a pinch of corn starch which actually helps to stabilize the mousse. If you use Caster's sugar (superfine), you might consider adding your own pinch to keep it stable.
