I’d definitely give this a 0/10 for presentation. I cannot tell you how ashamed i am to even share this you. God knows i tried to make a pretty one. Unfortunately for me Ghana is going though a crazy heat wave, and the weather is so harsh its almost impossible to work with desserts that need to be chilled or set. Still a bit busy with work and travelling, and with very little time on my hands.I’m sharing this with you just as it is, without really putting in that extra effort. I made this a week ago, but been on the road ever since. Now stuck in a terrible traffic jam, i find the time to write out this post. When I had started a week ago, a few ideas were running through my mind … something like this …
Walnut Brittle
1 cup granulated sugar
pinch of salt
3/4 th cup chopped toasted walnuts
melt the sugar in a heavy based pan, on medium heat. Do not stir until it starts changing colour and when it reached an amber red caramel, stir in the chopped nuts and pour out on some foil spread out on a baking sheet. be quick and spread it as thinly as you can. Leave it to cool completely and break once hard.
one portion of this dark chocolate mousse recipe.
Mocha Mousse
1 tbsp instant coffee
1 tbsp boiling water
3 tbsps caster sugar
2 egg whites whipped up stiff
200 ml double cream – whipped
1 tsp gelatin dissolved in 1 tbsp water
Dissolve the coffee and sugar in the water and let it cool. Mix it in the whipped cream along with the gelatin. Gently fold in the egg whites and pour in a wide dish and cover with cling film to set it overnight.
Chocolate Cake
use just about any chocolate cake you have lying around in the house.
oh they are welcome to melt in my mouth..or probably they wont even have the time to melt..i would swallow them too fast ..looks really delicious!!
I think these photos look spectacular, even if the melting wasn’t entirely what you were going for, it makes this look that much more tempting. Looks like an awesome dessert to me!
Omigod. That looks amazing. I have a bottle of cream sherry that would go perfectly
Very nice! I will keep this in mind for later. Too much heat will not be a problem here!
By the way, nice glasses.

Kate,
You’re kidding me. It looks sooo good. My son wants me to make one for him; he lovessss chocolate.
These look so incredibly tasty. I’m going to have to try them. I think the photos look delicious. Believe me they are nothing compared to the photos I have posted on my blog of my food.
