A confectionery kit that is convenient for handmade Valentine's Day. However, many of the confectionery kits are standard items such as cookies and gateau chocolate, and there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to get a "feeling of being a little elaborate" (If you want that, you may be able to make it by looking at the recipe book. Hmm ...).

However, this time, I found a confectionery kit "Mousse o Chocolat" in a supermarket that is both easy and discerning. It was manufactured by Crown Foods and the price was 1,078 yen (excluding tax). It is also available at online shops such as Tokyu Hands and Amazon.


The set includes bitter couverture chocolate (50g (1.76oz)), gold leaf, heart-shaped pottery and 2 spoons. You will need 60cc of fresh cream, 1 egg yolk and 20g (0.71oz) of sugar.



It's very easy to make! No need to heat, just mix. The work takes less than 30 minutes (excluding cooling time).

First, melt the chocolate in the bowl with a water bath and add 10cc of fresh cream. Mix until uniform.



Remove the bowl from the water bath and add the egg yolk. Mix further.



Whisk 50cc of fresh cream and sugar in a separate container. This whipping condition is the point. If loosened, it will be a soft cream, and if it is hard, it will be like a terrine.



Mix the cream in a chocolate bowl in two portions, put it in a container and cool it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. When it hardens, sprinkle with gold leaf to complete.





This time, I whipped the cream relatively hard, so the tactile sensation when scooping with a spoon is as hard as vanilla ice cream. When placed on the tongue, it melts gently with heat and spreads the rich taste of chocolate. Although the lips are light, the deep gap is irresistible!


The couverture chocolate in the kit is from the Belgian Callebaut brand. Made from Madagascar cacao beans, you can enjoy a fragrant and high-quality taste.

A recipe that directly affects the quality of chocolate because it is simple. If you make it without a kit, you should be careful when choosing chocolate. Also, since it requires refrigeration, it may be more suitable for dessert after meals at home Valentine's Day than handing it as a gift.


I'm reluctant to make sweets that take time, but I want to create a fashionable look. If you are such a person, why not try Moose o Chocolat this year!
