CHOCOLATE MOUSSE MODAK

Deliciously light, fluffy chocolate mousse coated with dark melted chocolate. Perfect combination for my modak. This innovative recipe I tried during Ganapati Festival when everyone is busy to show their talent and making very innovative versions of modak. Mousse is one of those that can be kinda hard to make [as per my experience] but once you get it down it’s so worth it. It is very light, fluffy and airy that you don’t feel like your dessert is weighing you down heavy dense ingredients. Here I tried a modak recipe with this fluffy chocolate mousse and the result was awesome. My daughter was so happy to see the chocolate mousse modak and my hubby too. This recipe is so easy to make and equally very delicious and versatile. Make it for Ganapati Bappa prasad and surprise your guests, friends and family with this interesting  and very modern chocolate mousse modak.
