Description

Silky smooth chocolate mousse molded into elegant bundt shapes, topped with a rich chocolate glaze, fresh blueberries, mint, and delicate edible flowers for a refined dessert that melts in your mouth.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 100g dark chocolate, melted (for drizzle)
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Edible flowers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons water and let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk and sugar until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
  3. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chopped chocolate and stir until fully melted and smooth. Add vanilla. Let cool slightly.
  4. Whip the cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cooled chocolate mixture in two additions until fully combined.
  5. Pour into silicone mini bundt molds and smooth the tops. Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  6. Carefully unmold the mousse cakes. Drizzle with melted chocolate.
  7. Top with fresh blueberries, mint leaves, and edible flowers. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use silicone molds for easy unmolding and elegant shape.
  • Make sure mousse is fully set before unmolding to prevent collapse.
  • Decorate just before serving for the freshest presentation.
  • Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
