Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Blender or food processor
- Measuring cups
- Spoon or spatula
- Serving bowls or cups
- Refrigerator (for chilling)
Ingredients
- 1 + 1/2 cups 260g dark chocolate, melted
- 1 cup boiled rice * leftover rice works great!
- 1/2 cup hot water
- Cocoa powder for dusting on top
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: First, take your dark chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in 30-second bursts, stirring well each time, until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Blend Everything: In a blender, add your cooked rice, half a cup of hot water, and the melted chocolate. Blend until the mixture looks smooth and velvety.
- Chill the Mousse: Pour your chocolate-rice mixture into a bowl or into individual serving cups. Place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours. This helps the mousse set and become thick.
- Finish & Serve: Once the mousse is nice and firm, dust the top with cocoa powder and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t Overheat Your Chocolate: Heating chocolate for too long in the microwave can burn it. Stir often to keep it smooth.
- Check Blender Capacity: Make sure your blender can handle hot liquids safely. If not, let the mixture cool a bit first.
- Don’t Skip the Chill: The mousse sets as it cools. If you skip or shorten the chill time, the mousse might be runny.
