Mars Bar Mousse Is Real And Our Fridays Are Looking Up

We think Fridays call for a little something chocolate-y over here at HerFamily HQ.

And if you feel the same way (and why wouldn't you?!), we have just the treat to make sure your weekend gets off to a flying – and delicious – start.

This silky smooth, chocolate mousse is made using Mars bars, and if that wasn't enough to tempt you, how about the fact that it only takes a few short minutes to whip up?

Whisks at the ready!

Ingredients

4 standard Mars Bars, chopped into pieces
50ml milk
4 tbsp cocoa powder
3 large egg whites
chocolate shavings, to decorate

Method

Put the Mars bars, milk and cocoa in a heavy-based saucepan. Cook over a very gentle heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool for 15 minutes, whisking frequently with a wire whisk to blend in any pieces of fudge that rise to the surface, to leave a smooth mixture.
Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until softly peaking. Using a metal spoon, fold a quarter of the whites into the chocolate sauce to lighten it, then fold in the remainder.
Turn the mixture into six small cups, glasses or ramekins and chill in the fridge to set, for at least 2 hours, before serving. Serve topped with chocolate shavings.
