Belgium - Deurne: Easterday making chocolat mousse

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!


We are collecting eggs...


But... Hostmom Cin and I have also hided other things for Mister J.
He needs to find those things by hints that he finds or orders that he needs to obey.
At the picture below the hint was: 
For our cats it is Easter too, give them a treat from their tin.

 Maya is helping too. 
She found a lot of eggs that have already been found :) 
She hit the Jackpot!!

Next hint:  the first place I look when I come home.
the mailbox!!
 Yeeehhh, another treasure

Next hint: find the cd that not belongs in your collection :P
He got it: Joss Stone.  Inside there were 4 little pieces of the big thing he needs to build. 

This was fun, it took Mister J about half an hour to find all the treasure that we hide last night.

All the hidingspots at a row:
1. at the tin with the treats for the cats
2. in a box with postcards
3. at the sugarbowl
4. in a shoe
5. at the mailbox
6. in a sock that was still on the clothesline
7. in the cat bed
8. in the fridge
9. in a cd
10. in a candle
11. in the magazine basket
 he found everything in total there were 74 pieces hidden on 11 spots.

Oh I didn't knew Hostmom Cin has hide something for me too!!
'What's inside?
 It is a robot-figure!!


Time for the Easterbrunch.. with...EGGS
Look at me.. I am so strong.  I can hold 2 eggs!! 

Hostmom Cin has bought the little bunny on top of the egg in Bruges.

 so cute!
Time to eat the egg... yummie!


Hostmom Cin promised Mister J that she wound make desert for this evening.
He would like chocolate mousse
Ok she said.. Stella will help me.



Ingredients:
• 120 gr dark Chocolate
• 60 gr Granulated Sugar

Step 4
when the chocolate and the cream melted together, let it cool.



Step 5
Whip the 200 ml cream that is left

How do you know when it is ready?





Step 6
It is ready when you can hold it upside down like this.

< I was bit scared as you can see :) >



Step 7
Time to whip the eggs-white of 3 eggs.



Time to whip again (first clean the mixing-things!!)


Step 8
When the egg-white becomes foam you need the add the sugar spoon by spoon very carefully while you are still whipping.


got only 2 hands so I can't make a picture of step 8 while doing it. So mixing/whipping and adding the sugar bit by bit until the sugar is invisible in the egg-white-foam.



We are out of sugar so... when is it ready?




Step 9
Again do the upside down trick to check.



So...
We got the melted chocolate with the cream,
the whipped cream and the whipped egg-white



Step 10
Put everything together with a spoon.
First the chocolate..



DO NOT STURRE!!


Step 11
Add the cream




So...
everything is in one bowl now!


Step 12
DO NOT STURRE!!
shovel it... very CAREFULLY and SLOW!....


... until it's all the same color.








Step 13
TAST IT!!
MMmmmmm



Step 14
Divide your mousse into small bowls.




... done...




Step 15
Cover the bowls




Step 16
Put them into the fridge.




Step 17
cleaning time :(




Step 18
Do the dishes




Step 19
Dry it




Step 20
Put it back.




Finished!!

Can we eat it already?
Sneak peak..


No... wait a few hours.
Many many hours later.... 


Step 21
