Here is a pretty, easy dessert for St. Patrick's Day from Mr. Food.

Minty Green Mousse

Air Date: 3/17/2008

6 to 8 servings

1 package (6 ounces) white baking bars
1 pint (2 cups) heavy cream, divided
4 to 5 drops green food color
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

In a medium saucepan, combine the baking bars and 1/2 cup heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until the bars are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat, mix in the food color thoroughly, and let cool completely.

In a medium bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat the confectioners' sugar, peppermint extract, and the remaining cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until blended. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

SERVING TIP: This is great as is, but to make it extra fancy, serve it in chocolate cups topped with a sprig of fresh mint or chocolate shavings.

Spread the word
