Ingredients

Directions

  1. Break the unsweetened baking chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
  2. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Beat the cooled chocolate mixture until it is smooth and slightly thickened.
  7. In a separate large mixer bowl, beat 2 cups of cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two or three batches, being careful not to deflate the air.
  9. Spoon the mousse mixture into individual dessert dishes or glasses.
  10. Refrigerate the mousse until thoroughly chilled and set, at least 2 hours.
  11. To make the topping, drain one 10-ounce package of thawed frozen red raspberries, reserving the syrup.
  12. In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup of the reserved raspberry syrup, 1/4 cup red currant jelly (or red raspberry jam), and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
  13. Cook the syrup mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes clear.
  14. Stir the drained raspberries into the thickened syrup.
  15. Serve the chilled chocolate mousse topped with the warm or room-temperature raspberry compote.
  16. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
