Freaky Fabulous Ingredients
245g Whole Milk 3g Gelatin Sheets 310g 72% Chocolate 450g Heavy Cream
Steps to Creating this Scary Sweet Treat
1. Bloom gelatin sheets in ice water for 5-10 minutes. Wring sheets out to drain off excess water. Place sheets on top of chocolate chips.
2. Bring milk to a boil, then pour over chocolate and gelatin.
3. Stir mixture together until homogeneous using a whisk, to create a nicely emulsified chocolate ganache.
4. Cool chocolate mixture to just about room temperature (around 37C).
5. While chocolate ganache cools, whip your heavy cream to medium peaks.
6. Once the chocolate is at the proper temperature, fold into whipped cream. Add the ganache a little at a time to avoid deflating the aerated cream.
7. Once the mousse is combined and smooth, pipe into Popsicle molds and place the stick inside.
8. Freeze until set firmly enough to unmold.
