Method

  • step 1

    Bring the cream just to the boil with the cardamom pods, then set aside to infuse for 15 mins.

  • step 2

    Keep one square of chocolate aside and melt the rest gently in a large bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Strain in the cream, then beat with an electric whisk for a couple of mins to thicken slightly. Pour into pots, cover and chill for 4 hrs, or up to 2 days, until cold and set. Very finely grate over the reserved square of white chocolate to serve.

tip

I used fresh basil in place of cardamom.

Cream didn't whip after chilling, didn't get a mousse.

Very yummy and awfully rich. Didn't turn out very mousse-like but am relieved that judging by the other comments it wasn't something I did wrong! If I make it again I'll do smaller portions and possibly as an accompaniment.

Would agree with other comments, this is definitely not a mousse. It was delicious but disappointing as it was a mousse I wanted. It also took a lot longer than four hours to set - I put it in the fridge at 11am and served at 8pm and it was still runny

A delicious chocolate pot which I served in shot glasses as part of a triple chocolate dessert. Needs very fresh cardamoms and in my opinion more of them. Not a mousse though.
