Chocolate mousse with millets

 

Ingredients

Serves 6

1⁄2 cup (approx. 75–100 g) millets

3 tbsp brown sugar

360 ml coconut milk

360 ml water

120 g chocolate with 70% cocoa

Preparation

1. In a medium pan, combine millets, sugar, coconut milk and water. Place the pan over high heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat and let it cook for 20 minutes. Stir well and set aside.


2. In a medium glass bowl, place the chocolate to melt in a double boiler and set aside.


3. Using a food processor, combine the cooked millet and melted chocolate. Process the mixture until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream consistency.


4. Serve the chocolate mousse while it is still hot or warm for the best texture and flavour. If it cools down, it may harden.
