LOVELY but quite rich - nicely served in shot glasses on top of rasberries, as not much is needed, aslwo whipping the cream slightly makes the mixture go further, as it is an expensive recipe for a crowd.

One of the quickest, tastiest desserts to whip up! Went down a treat with my housemates.

Loved this but next time I would use plain chocolate instead of milk. Whipped the cream before mixing with the mascarpone to bulk it out a bit and served it with a mixed berry salad. Great!!

Although it tasted really nice it was too thick and looked like poo. I would do it again but try my very best to make it look better (not like faeces). Adding strawberries or raspberries makes it taste nicer so it's not so as full on and sickly (using less mix and more fruit is best)

I did what many have done, I whipped the cream. Made it today for a dinner party tonight, had a spare so had a sneaky one and it's gorgeous, very decadent! I think it's better with the cream whipped as it gives it a more mousse like consistency.

Too sweet, too rich, too calorific. Though if your having a dinner party and in a rush, surely no dessert can be made any quicker.

Too many calories, too sweet, too rich! I'm not a calorie counter but this is just too much. However i can't imagine you could make a pudding any quicker and some of the guests thought it was lovely, but even one who had seconds said they wouldnt want it again.

I made this for the childrens pudding after Christmas lunch, having read previous comments I halved the quantities and whipped the cream. That made plenty for 3 children as it was very very rich, not really what I would call a mousse though. Having said that they loved it :D

My kids love these !! I reccommend making them in advance so the crunchies dissolved into a lovely runny caramel sauce

This is the third time i have made this mousse. It is very delicious and can be used with any brand of chocolate.

Very tasty, but I overwhipped the cream and it went a bit lumpy. It seems every time I whip cream I go slightly too far! Don't know how to stop myself in time! Tasted good though, just strange consistency from lumpy cream. Also, not enough crunchie for my liking. Next time I'll double the crunchie content.

Lovely! I add a bit less cream so it's more chocolatey and you get better swirls. Worth the calories, especially if you just make smaller quantities.

Really delicious, made me look like a great cook with almost no work!
But the recipe seems wrong - Marscapone comes in 250g tubs, not mls! Is this a typo? Don't people check the recipes before publishing? Its not a liquid cheese, it comes in grams not mls!
It also doesn't look much like the photo, its not as thick - I leave it about 12hours to set in the fridge and this makes it perfect.
It's not really a mousse, its SO rich, more chilled liquid chocolate and cream!
Not for people on diets!!! Delicious for a birthday, however :)

Really easy to make, made it for friends, but we all found it too sweet and sickly, you only need a small amount. Wouldn't bother making it again.
