Dark Chocolate Mousse with Cocoa Nibs
Ingredients
1 1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
6 ounces 56% bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa nibs
Garnish (optional)
Whipped cream
Cocoa nibs
Preparation
1. Place 1/3 cup heavy cream, sugar and salt in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Continue heating until sugar is dissolved and cream comes to a boil. Pour cream over chopped chocolate. Allow to sit for 1 minute and whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is fully emulsified. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined and creamy. Allow to cool for five minutes or until tepid.
2. Whip remaining heavy cream to soft peaks and keep chilled until chocolate mixture has cooled down. Fold 1/3 of heavy cream into chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream, being careful not to over-fold. Gently fold in cocoa nibs.
3. Spoon or pipe mousse into 4 glasses. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa nibs.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
