Simple to make with an electric mixer and oh so delicious — nobody will believe it took only about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm (it will thicken and look grainy).
  3. 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.
  4. Fold about one-fourth of the whipped cream into the chocolate until completely mixed, then fold in the rest.
  5. Spoon into dishes and chill until serving.
  6. Serve with fresh berries or other fruit if desired.
