Ingredients
3/4cupshot water
8ouncesof bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (or use semi-sweet, if you like!)
In a saucepan, combine water and chocolate over medium-low heat. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Set the saucepan into the bowl of ice cubes and whisk the chocolate quickly until your emulsion sets up. Keep whipping until it’s a consistency you like – remember that it will stiffen in the refrigerator, so don’t allow a little slack in the consistency for further thickening as it chills. If the mousse breaks and thins out, move the saucepan back to the heat, re-melt, and then set back in the ice to whip again.
Into four parfait glasses, add a dollop of chocolate mousse, and then a layer of strawberry yogurt. Continue layering until the glasses are full, finishing with a layer of chocolate. Cover each glass and set in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Serve topped with fresh whipped cream and half a fresh strawberry.
