Chocolate Mousse

This recipe has three elements- the mousse, crumble and fruit sauce. You can use each element separately and combine them with other recipes . Make it a quick simple dessert or a gourmet artistic finale to a meal. You can assemble this dessert in a cup or glass with the crumble at the bottom, pipe the mousse in and top with the fresh mango coulis. Alternatively, do a deconstructed version on a plate as shown in the second picture. You can replace the mangoes with fresh oranges, strawberries or raspberries. The crumble is the same as an unset cheesecake crust. Store the crumble in the fridge and serve with ice cream for an impulse weekday indulgence.
For a light and fluffy mousse, it is important that you use frozen non-dairy whipping cream that is available in specialty stores in India. You can also use unsweetened whipping cream, in which case please add 50 gms of icing sugar and adjust to taste.
