  • Sprinkle contents of Chocolate Mousse pack over the water. 
  • Add cayenne pepper. 
  • Beat until well blended. 
  • Cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge for 15 minute
In a smaller mixing bowl whip the cream until soft peak stage.

Remove the mousse mixture from the fridge and using the same beaters, whip again for 1 minute until smooth.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mousse using a spatula or metal spoon and stir until evenly blended.
