Lots of fun possibilities, right?
I ended up using chocolate, cream, strawberries, and rosewater.
It looks kinda fancy, doesn’t it? It’s totally not! I swear, this dessert is a snap to make!
The chocolate layer whips up in about 2 minutes flat. I made it in the blender! The recipe I used called it a mousse, but I found the texture to be really dense and fudgy, more like a truffle or pot de crème. If you lay your champagne flutes on their sides, in a bowl, you can pour in the mousse and set it in the fridge for this cool diagonal effect.
Once the chocolate is set up, the strawberry sauce is as simple as stirring a few drops of rosewater into some strawberry preserves. Spoon the syrupy sweet mixture over the chocolate and top with softly whipped cream.
I found my rosewater at a regular grocery store. It wasn’t a specialty food store, but it was a little more upscale. It was in the ethnic foods section. It’s often used in Indian and middle eastern cooking. If you can’t find it at the supermarket, maybe try an Asian grocery. Or you could order it from this source.
You only need a few drops to bring a subtle floral note to the strawberries that is so lovely.
Talk about romantic!
This is a perfect dessert for a romantic Valentines Day dinner at home. It’s so easy to make, so you’ll have lots of time to spend with your sweetie.

Be sure to pop over and say hi! And give a warm welcome to our guest posters this month, Monica and Caroline of Pass the Cocoa.
Now, on a bit of a sad note, this also marks the final month that our friend and Mystery Dish founder, See Hubby Cook, will be joining us. Maybe I shouldn’t say sad, because they are truly on to bigger and better things, and I couldn’t be happier for them. But they will certainly be missed among the group, and I just want to give a heartfelt thank you to Dani and JT for bringing this group together and allowing me to be a part of it. I’m so grateful for all the fun and friends it’s brought me, and I wish you guys all the best with your adoption! Life with a little one is such a fun adventure!
