April 3 - National Chocolate Moose Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Hippo Pot de Mousse
 Categories: Five, Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy, Nuts
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      4 oz Semisweet chocolate
      2 oz Bittersweet chocolate
      2 c  Heavy cream; well-chilled
           - whipping cream will do
           - nicely
      1 ts Almond extract
 
  Melt the chocolate together in the top of a double boiler.
  Be careful to do this slowly, so as not to burn the
  chocolate, and to keep all moisture away from the pot. Let
  the chocolate cool for five minutes.
  
  While the chocolate cools, whip the cream and almond
  extract together until very stiff. Gently fold the cooled
  chocolate into the whipped cream. There will be many
  flecks of chocolate in the mixture.
  
  If you're not going to eat it all yourself, spoon into six
  large wine glasses. Chill one hour.
  
  Yield: Serves one to six people.
  
  NOTES: Extremely quick and easy chocolate mousse -- This
  is an adaptation of a very easy chocolate mousse recipe
  from Sandra Boynton's hilarious book, "Chocolate, the
  Consuming Passion." It requires none of the laborious
  preparation that most French mousse recipes call for, and
  really optimizes the effort needed to consume the
  chocolate, which is, after all, what this is all about.
  
  If you're careful, you can also melt the chocolate in a
  microwave oven, in its wrapper. If you try this, be
  especially mindful of the semisweet chocolate, as the
  sugar therein caramelizes very quickly, leading to an
  awful mess (and ruined chocolate).
