Did someone mention . . . chocolate? I enjoy baking all kinds of goodies but chocolate often gets first attention. If I can indulge in chocolate in a smooth, creamy state, so much the better. I will not, however, turn down a slice of cake of that particular genre so don't get me wrong. This is a great way to fill a cake or just spoon into dessert cups/bowls and enjoy.
Deep Chocolate Mousse
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coffee liquer or brandy
Place the whipping cream, sour cream, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and liquer in a mixing bowl. Whip at high speed until combined, smooth, and fluffy. Scoop into dessert bowls (small ones as this is rich!) and top with whipped cream.
Ideas . . .
Use an orange-flavored brandy for a citrus tang.
Almond liquer is great, too. Top the final whipped cream topping with sliced, toasted almonds.
A light powdering of cinnamon is good, too.
