Legend of the Mousse

Once upon a time there was a girl that LOVED to bake. One day, she came across a recipe for the most delicious and decedent Ghirardelli Dark-Chocolate Mousse in the world! She looked in her pantry and saw that she has JUST enough to make ONE batch of this delicious dessert...

So off she went...
- Melting chocolate
- Making whipped cream
- Folding it together
- Whipping egg whites
- Folding again

Finally, the time to chill it in the refrigerator had come. In 2 short hours she would be able to taste this gorgeous looking bowl of chocolate...

She turned around...

And...

CRASH!!!

Tripped right over the cooler left in the middle of the floor by her annoying little mouse friend who always tried to sabatoge her work.


Thankfully, the girl had lightning reflexes and managed to save the bowl and about half of the chocolate before it was a TOTAL loss, but still... her dreams of a chocolate mousse pie were shattered... all that was left was the small amount that would be used to fill a couple of measly cream puffs that were lying around.
