INGREDIENTS
100gm hung curd
100gm melted chocolate
Melted butter (optional)
Cocoa powder (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
We need hung curd for this recipe, so you can either have store-bought hung curd or can make it at home very easily. Here is the method to make homemade hung curd: In a deep bowl, place a strainer and put the muslin cloth over it. Now add fresh curd to it and tie the edges of the muslin cloth together. Hang it for at least one hour and your hung curd is ready.
- Add hung curd in a bowl along with melted chocolate. You can use a microwave to melt chocolate or use the double-boiler method. Make sure you do not heat the chocolate for too long and keep stirring it. If you are using a microwave, it won’t take more than a minute or so.
- Mix both the ingredients with a spatula or whisk until they are combined well.
- Coat your dish or serving plate with little melted butter to stick the parchment paper and also evenly coat its top side with very little melted butter so the chocolate doesn’t stick to the paper. This step is optional, you can even skip it.
- Now you just need to refrigerate the chocolate dish for at least 4 hours.
- After 4 hours take out the dish, flip it over a plate to demould the chocolate mousse from the dish and remove the parchment paper.
- You can dust cocoa powder on top of it to garnish or you can even skip this step, it’s optional.
- Take a sharp knife and cut slices out of it🔪 and eat it quickly before it turns soft and melty, or you can also store it in the refrigerator.🍮
