That sounds wonderfully decadent. When will the planets align again such that I get something that luxurious for pud?

I don’t think, when we made the choccy mousse, that we were able to come up with mini marshmallows either. But what’s the difference once melted! Interesting that Dunbar could not provide though; we had real trouble tracking them down in Edinburgh (sainsbury’s eventually prevailed although they are rather less mini than the ones you get in coffee shops) and I remember a regular refrain of mine being “but you can get them in Dunbar” because I can remember there being huge bags of them in the co op…years ago.

Actually, she didn’t polish off the sauce… a couple of days later we poured the last few spoonfuls over a tweaked Nigella (poor thing). I made the instant Chocolate mousse, but as Dunbar was not able to come up with marshmallows mini or otherwise, I substituted 3 Milky Ways… I think it was otherwise essentially as per recipe.

Whatever, it was bleedin’ wunnerful, even though one had to ignore the 7000 calories per portion.

Thinking about it, I put in half the quantity of dark chocolate, as it felt like piggery to make a pud with a WHOLE bar of 85% choc plus 3 Milky Ways, plus a carton of cream, and some butter…. I’m sure you can see my point.

It was still bleedin’ wunnerful

looks as scrummy as it tasted. I enjoyed polishing off the sauce too. Some of it over pink grapefruit
