I love Belgian chocolate. We used to market Belgian chocolate coins and we would get some stock from our sales. We used to love munching on them, personally the dark ones, were just too good. Miss them now… 🙁 The cake looks like my dream… I have been thinking of making a mousse cake, maybe on my birthday but I still have to wait for sometime… Looks so soft, moist…
gonna try it….which brand heavy cream recommended? Also is it heavy cream or whipping(dairy/non dairy) cream?
I always prefer rich cream for piping consistency. For this mousse cake recipe I have used amul heavy cream
