very easy

RATING

It is really great that low-calorie low-fat curd cheese provides us with calcium. But of course we are really keen on the euphoric, stimulating and stress-reducing dark chocolate.

Ingredients

Servings: 6

100 g Fine dark chocolate (at least 70 % cocoa)
100 g dried soft dates
100 ml Milk
100 g Whipped cream
500 g Low-fat curd
4 TABLESPOONS Rice syrup (alternatively liquid honey)
1 TABLESPOON Baking cocoa
1/2 TEASPOON liquid vanilla extract
1/2 Pomegranate
2 TABLESPOONS Pistachio kernels

Directions

1
For the mousse, roughly chop the chocolate and melt it in a hot water bath. Let it cool down.
2
Finely puree dates and milk with a hand blender (or in a blender jug). Whip the cream until stiff. Stir the quark with the whisks of the mixer until smooth. First stir in the date mix, then the slightly cooled, still liquid chocolate. Carefully fold in the cream. Pour the mousse into six glasses (each containing approx. 200 ml). Chill for about 1 hour.
3
For the cocoa syrup, meanwhile, bring rice syrup, cocoa, 2 tablespoons of water and vanilla extract to the boil in a small pot. Let it cool down.
4
To serve, remove the pomegranate seeds. Coarsely chop the pistachios. Serve the mousse with cocoa syrup, pomegranate seeds and pistachios.
