  Catherine's Chocolate Mousse of Love and Beauty...

Ingredients

125g cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
250g Cadbury Dark or Milk Cooking Chocolate (Dairy Milk also works)
600ml thickened cream, lightly whipped.

Method

1. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and egg together until smooth.
2. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt over a double boiler or in the microwave (be really really careful not to overheat, cause cooked chocolate is gross).
3. Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and stir through until well combined.
4. Stir in the cream, again stiring until well combined.
5. Chill (preferably but not necessarily in a pre-chilled glass bowl) until required for desert. Also as an option is prearranging it in the bowl you plan on serving it in, that way it will set very nicely.
6. Optional: Decorate with a dollap of whipped cream, chocolate flakes (either curled yourself if you want to put in effort or from a Flake(tm)) or a fine springling of cocoa.
7. Eat too much and feel ill the rest of the evening.
