Frozen Chocolate Mousse Cake
Adapted from a french cookbook, i cannot believe how something this delicious can be so easy to make. And the results are truly magnificent. Decorate nicely, and you could swear this came from a big french patisserie. By the way, the recipe says that the cake and the sauce both can be frozen for one month. The cake and sauce are unsuitable to microwave. Mmm....when i made this me and my hubby finished it in one go, and he doesn't even like chocolate that much!!
