- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE MOUSSE-CHOC-2 D "23 May 86" 1986
- .RZ "MINT WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE" "Sinful and light mint chocolate mousse"
- This concoction is a variation of another white chocolate mousse, which
- is a variation of a dark rum chocolate mousse. It was invented for a
- friend's birthday, which happens to be on St. Patrick's Day. We were
- sitting around the day before, planning the celebration, and I offered to
- bring some white mousse. Someone suggested it should be green, in honor
- of the occasion. I came up with the perfect way to make green chocolate
- mousse....

- creme de menthe. Let it cool a bit, and stir in

- chocolate-creme-cream mixture into the beaten egg whites.
- .SM "The more carefully you fold, the lighter will be the mousse."

- whites\-chocolate mixture into the whipped cream.
