List of Ingredients

Chocolate Almond Mousse

3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 package (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 to 3 tablespoons slivered almonds




Recipe

In medium saucepan, stir together milk, eggs and sugar until thoroughly blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film and reaches at least 160°F. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate and flavorings until chocolate is melted. Spoon into 8 pot de creme cups or 1/4-cup dessert dishes. Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

MICROWAVE: In small bowl, stir together eggs and sugar until thoroughly blended. In 1-cup liquid measure, cook milk on full power until bubbles form at edges, about 2 1/2 minutes. Stir into egg mixture. Cook on 50% power, stirring every minute, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film and reaches at least 160°F., about 3 to 4 minutes. Continue as above.

Note: All microwave cooking times are based on a full power output of 600 to 700 watts. For a lower wattage oven allow more time.
