So now I had the Mascarpone cheese, what was I going to do with it. I know I could have gone with the traditional Tiramisu but I was looking for something a little different. Well Chocolate Mousse sounded like a wonderful idea to me. Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse (Adapted from Epicurious) 12 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 1/3 c heavy cream 1/3 c water 1/4 dark corn syrup 5T dark rum 1 t vanilla 1 t chocolate extract (optional) 8 oz Mascarpone 2 bananas, sliced 1/2 c strawberries, sliced Place chocolate, 1/3 c cup cream, water, and corn syrup in a saucepan. Heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Is there a better sight than chocolate melting into cream? Let cool about 20 minutes, stir occasionally. Whisk in rum and extracts. Whisk in Mascarpone until smooth. Beat 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold chocolate mixture into cream in two additions. Looks like we'll need some more rum for maki...
