Frozen Chocolate Mousse

Posted on October 8, 2013 by | 1 Comment

About 1 ½ years ago, we gave up eating candy in our house.  This recipe is a favorite because it is as close to candy as we come.

In a pan, heat 4 oz unsweetened chocolate and 1 c butter until melted. Pour into blender.  Gradually add 2 c sifted powdered sugar until blended.  Add 4 eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, and ¾ tsp peppermint extract.  Whirl until fluffy.  Arrange in about 15 paper muffin cups in cupcake pan.  Spoon in chocolate mixture.  Sprinkle with 1/3 c toasted chopped almonds.  Freeze until firm.
