Yesterday, just before dinner, I whipped this insanely easy chocolate mousse with a hint of coffee flavor in it. My husband was surprised when he watched me suddenly jump out of the couch and go straight to the kitchen, like I left the stove on by mistake. I am still working on fixing that bad habit! That was clearly not the reason why I rushed to the kitchen. Like I said before, craving hits hard at times. After a quick 15 minutes, the mousse was ready. Really, it was that quick. As usual, I was trying to scrape every single bit of it and when I couldn’t do it anymore, I licked the whisk clean. Who doesn’t do that, right? Not even a tad bit embarrassed about it. It’s dark chocolate after all and that silky smooth mousse was too good to get washed by water. Arvind stood there and stared at me with a flat expression. I am sure such things don’t surprise him any more. My plan was to save some for the special love-day that’s just around the corner. Not that we go outrageous and celebrate Valentine’s Day with flowers and hearts hovering around us. We find that silly. We don’t even like to eat out on that day because its just too crowded. But we do like to treat ourselves to something special. Now, if only I could resist the temptation until Friday. There are still two more left in the fridge and I placed the milk gallon right in front of it hoping that the trick works! The truth is, I don’t trust myself much with chocolate mousse or any chocolate treat. The good news however is that this mousse so easy to prepare, I can make it any time.
