Chocolate Love Bomb

Ingredients
For Mousse:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup heavy cream

For crust:
6 tablespoons butter
10 chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions
In a food processor, combine chocolate, egg, and
vanilla. In a small pot, heat the cream to a slow boil, then slowly add the heated
cream to the chocolate mixture: careful not to break the mix. Transfer this to a
container and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.

In a small pan heat 3 tablespoons of butter. Pulse the cookies in a food processor
for about 20 seconds and add 1 tablespoon of the solid butter at a time. Slowly
add the melted butter until the crust becomes shiny and easy to work with. Line 1
(6-ounce) cup with plastic wrap and begin forming your crust in the cup about
1/2-inch thick.

Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Begin filling with the mouse until it is up to the
edge of the crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour and invert onto a dish. Remove plastic

and serve with chocolate shavings.
