Kahlua Mousse

I really appreciate food, i love eating them and enjoy making good food. I'm not an expert but at least i tried my best not to mess it up :p


Is there even such a thing as “bad” Chocolate Mousse? I really don’t think so. I wanted to share this quick and easy recipe followed by the steps on how to prepare and make "Kahlua Mousse".

Here's what you need:

250g bittersweet (dark) chocolate chopped
250g semisweet chocolate chip
90g butter
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
60ml Kahlua
2 cups (500ml) Heavy cream or whipping cream.








Melt the chocolate with the butter and egg yolks in a double boiler over barely simmering water.





In a large bowl, combine the confectioners sugar and Kahlua






Stir in the chocolate mixture into the Kahlua mixture. In a different bowl whip the cream until creamy and stiff then fold it into Kahlua and chocolate mixture.







After finish folding, beat the egg whites until just stiff (do not over beat). Fold them into the mixture.




Voila!! now get the small cups ready and spoon them in slowly :)







refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving.

Don't worry about the presentation, just keep it simple. Remember it's a homemade Kahlua mousse. If liked, decorate the mousse with extra wipped cream. But i prefer strawberry or any other fruit to decorate just to give a little color :)

That's about it, quick and easy right? Hope you enjoy this recipe as well as i did, and don't forget to serve this to the people you love ♥

Lately..

Here's one of the things that i've been doing lately.
Re-designing menu for a local hip and trendy bar called "Beer Garden Kemang", hah!




















Visit Beer Garden and experience the friendly ambience & good music playing in an open space bar while enjoying assorted beers (local&imported) and signature drinks with a very reasonable price, and also try the so-called best "french fries in town" according to Jakarta Globe. Hands down, I must say it's the best place to hangout with friends :D

SUN JAR









I just bought myself a "Sun Jar"- solar powered lamp. The Sun Jar collects and stores sunshine so the sun shines every day & night ♥
I Didn't get the chance to recharge the battery today, so maybe tomorrow i'll just leave my Sun Jar outside in direct sunlight for several hours to charge :)
