    Recipe



    For chocolate mousse, in small mixing bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute to soften. Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool.

    In large mixing bowl, stir together sugar and cocoa powder; add whipping cream and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until thickened, scraping bowl occasionally; add gelatin and stir until well mixed. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Fold each crepe in half Pipe or spread about 1 1/2 Tbsp. mousse onto each folded crepe; fold each crepe again. Drizzle sauce over crepes. Makes 8 or 9 servings (16 to 18 crepes).

    Dessert Crepes: Combine 2 beaten eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 Tbsp. sugar, 1 Tbsp. cooking oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt-, beat until mixed. Heat a lightly greased 8-inch crepe pan; remove from heat. Spoon in 2 Tbsp. batter; tilt pan to spread batter (see photo, page 92). Return to heat; brown one side only. Invert over paper towels to remove crepe. Repeat, greasing pan as needed.

    Rich Cocoa Sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 Tbsp. cornstarch. Gradually add 2/3 cup evaporated milk and 1 Tbsp. butter. Cook until bubbly. Cook 1 minute more. Stir in 1 tsp. vanilla. Serve warm.


    NOTES : This mousse recipe is one of the all time favorites to come out of the Hershey Kitchens, For a quicker recipe, skip the crepes and serve the mousse in goblets.
