Ingredients

• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Crème de Menthe liqueur
• 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups dark chocolate shavings
• 1 handful fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, gently warm the bloomed gelatin over low heat until it is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly pour in the dissolved gelatin, Crème de Menthe, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.

Step 5

Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue whipping until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently fold in half of the dark chocolate shavings, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mousse.

Step 7

Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large serving dish. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.

Step 8

Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until set and chilled.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the remaining dark chocolate shavings on top of the mousse for garnish. Optionally, add a small sprig of fresh mint for an elegant touch.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, minty indulgence!
