Chocolate mousse just got an upgrade. With the addition of Amarula, a creamy South African liqueur, this dessert becomes an irresistible treat
Ingredients
- 2 tsp gelatin
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups cream
- 1/2 cup Amarula (keep it ice cold)

Instructions
- Start by sprinkling the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl.

- Stir in the boiling water until the gelatin fully dissolves, no lumps allowed.

- Beat the mixture at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly pour in the Amarula and the gelatin mixture while cranking up the mixer to high speed.
- Whip until the mousse is thick, fluffy, and irresistible.
