Here is the recipe:

INSTANT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE (CHOCOLATE CHANTILLY)
Recipe by Herve This & Heston Blumenthal
Ingredients
4 servings
9.35 ounces (265 grams) bittersweet (%70 cocoa solids) chocolate, chopped (preferably Valrhona Guanaja)
1 cup (240 ml) water
4 tbsp sugar, optional
Method
Place a large mixing bowl on top of another slightly smaller one, filled with ice and cold water (the bottom of the large bowl should touch the ice). Set aside.
Put chocolate and water (also sugar and/or liquor if you’re using) in a medium-sized pan and melt the chocolate over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Pour the melted chocolate into the mixing bowl sitting on top of ice and water, and start whisking with a wire whisk (or an electrical hand-held mixer) until thick. Watch the texture as you whip and make sure not to over-whip as it will make the mousse grainy. If the mousse becomes grainy (which is possible at your first try), transfer it back into the pan, reheat until half of it is melted, pour it back to the mixing bowl and whisk again briefly.
Divide into four serving cups and serve immediately.

When I go to make cocktails and I have very little in the house I like to make a strong pot of herbal tea and chill it for a little while with ice. I mix it up with fresh lime juice, or a little cane sugar. Mint tea and Whiskey are especially nice, but I've never had a miss!

This is interesting, I would love to try a dairy free version of this, nixing the butter altogether and using the sweet potato (and maybe some veggie oil or margarine?) to act as a butter substitute.

Thanks for posting!

This summer I made 150 jars of apple butter as wedding favors for my best friend's wedding. It was nutty and took two full days, but it was a blast and we will both never forget it. Congrats on your DIY wedding!

I've found whiskey works best! Pour some in a small cup, cover with saran wrap and poke holes in the top a fork. If you pour a little some for yourself too, you'll forget about the flies!
