{FFWD} Michel Rostang's Double Chocolate Mousse Cake





I missed making the Paris mushroom soup and the gnocchi a la parisienne but I planned on making two out of the four recipes...SOOO I guess the last two are it!

I really tweaked this recipe. I halved the recipe, forgot to put the butter in and basically dumped  the chocolate mixture in to 4 little pie tins, baked for 15 min.  and served warm with vanilla ice cream!

 One of my three kids said it was to sweet and everyone else liked it. Not a fav. here but it was good!

Michelle, I am jealously eyeing up that glorious vanilla bean ice-cream on top - did you make it? I am with you - like, but did not love, this cake.

Not one of my favorites, either - love the ice cream on top of yours, though! :)

Too funny & I like that you 'fessed up to your change ups. I like the little pie tin concept!

How nice that you rolled with the punches and still had positive feedback! Warm with vanilla ice cream sounds like the perfect way to eat this one :)

Love the honesty! I'm sure we'll all have a couple recipes that just aren't quite to our liking. It's diversity in action! Now I'm feeling like I can do this...no worries!

It's great to see people using these recipes as springboards rather than rulebooks, sometimes. Makes for interesting reading!
