Simple to make with an electric mixer and oh so delicious — nobody will believe it took only about 30 minutes.
- Author: No Ordinary Homestead
- Cuisine: French
- 4 ounces sweet baking chocolate
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier or other fruit liqueur/syrup
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
- Combine chocolate and liqueur in the top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil, then reduce to low and cook until the chocolate melts.
- Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm (it will thicken and look grainy).
- Beat the cream at medium speed (speed 4 on a KitchenAid with the whisk) until foamy; gradually add powdered sugar and beat to soft peaks.
- Fold about one-fourth of the whipped cream into the chocolate until completely mixed, then fold in the rest.
- Spoon into dishes and chill until serving.
- Serve with fresh berries or other fruit if desired.
