We’ve swapped the fridge for freezer to help set this chocolate mousse in no time at all. If time permits, you can refrigerate it overnight instead.
Ingredients
Method
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Place half the cream and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Strain over chocolate (discard cinnamon quill) and stand for 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth and combined; refrigerate to cool briefly (10 minutes).
Whisk remaining cream until soft peaks form. Fold cream into the chocolate mixture in three batches, then transfer to a large serving bowl, cover and freeze to firm (45 mins to 1 hour).
Meanwhile, for salted pretzel crumb, combine ingredients in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl with ½ tsp sea salt flakes and stir to combine.
Drizzle chocolate mousse with olive oil to taste and scatter with salted pretzel crumb to serve.
Note
Allow extra time for cooling and freezing — refer to the method for details.
