Marc's Chocolate Combustion Lite

So Marc's Chocolate Combustion was such a cool recipe that I had to play with it.  I turned Marc's recipe into a kind of chocolate mousse (see entry below for original recipe) but instead of butter, I used whipped cream.  Well I just lied, I did use some butter - I melted about 4 tablespoons butter and added this to the cocoa and sugar to moisten it then added the eggs.  But that is much less than the 2 sticks Marc used.  Then I folded 1 cup cream that I had whipped.  And instead of biscuits I had a Eureka! moment and added my own homemade incomparable GRANOLA (check it out, those of you who have my new book Wild Flavors)! And then I added a splash of cognac, some dried cherries and chocoalte chips.  This was for a dinner party of mine where no one was allowed to speak English.  The woman with the dark rimmed glasses, is French and was my roommate for a brief period of time.  We all knew French.  But that lasted for about 30 minutes and then we defaulted to English because of a few of us couldn't keep up.  Do try this mousse - it is right up there with my favorite desserts - Floating Island and Lemon Coconut Cake.  But it is much easier.  By the way, I kept the mousse in the freezer for a couple of hours before dessert.  And now, the leftovers have been in my freezer for a week and I steal a bite whenever I can.
