In The Mood For


{indulging in a great batch of chocolate ice-cream - now only at the weekends!}


This was the week of getting back to work, of establishing a healthier diet plan, of setting new quest goals, of making a major cleaning around the house just to make space to welcome September, a month full of family and friends anniversaries that will imply a lot of effort, dedication and commitment to make everyone happy!  With nothing on the agenda but to go to the movies and a casual dinner at friends' I just will go with the flow if something great eventually comes up! Wish you all a beautiful month ahead! I'm in the mood for...




{missing the casual chic style worn during beach holidays}





{loving the romantic and clean feel of different white vases altogether}






{in the search for the perfect pale coral lipstick}






{having a crush for delicate but statement rings}




{organizing my necessaire bag with just the essencial make up items}




{certainly reproducing this at home with the shells gathered during the holidays}

Mousse Au Deux Chocolats


Although the desserts with chocolate, are very rich and comforting, and therefore better for the cold months, this one, as it is served cold, is great for any occasion! This is a recipe that is delicious by itself, but if you want to appeal to the creativity at the time of serving, garnish it with grated biscuits and strawberries, chocolate chips or nuts to ...Just dare!
 

Ingredients:
  • 200gr white chocolate
  • 200gr dark chocolate
  • 30gr sugar (for each type of chocolate)
  • 50gr unsalted butter (for each type of chocolate) 
  • strawberries
  • cookies

Melt the chocolate and the butter in bain-marie.Beat the egg whites and  reserve.Beat the yolks very well with the sugar and then add the chocolate to the butter, beating until you reaqch a smooth homogeneous kind of foam.Lastly, add the egg whites gently, incorporating them into the mixture. Take it to the fridge for a few hours or, preferably, overnight and garnish to taste.



Se bem que as sobremesas com chocolate, por serem muito ricas e reconfortantes, saibam melhor nos meses frios, esta, como é servida fria, é ótima para qualquer ocasião! Esta é uma receita que por si só é deliciosa, mas se quiser apelar à criatividade na altura de servir, decore com bolacha ralada e morangos, pedaços de chocolate ou até nozes... Atreva-se!


Ingredientes:
  • 200gr chocolate branco
  • 200gr chocolate negro
  • 30gr de açúcar (para cada tipo de chocolate)
  • 50gr de manteiga sem sal (para cada tipo de chocolate)
  • morangos
  • bolacha Maria

Derreta o chocolate e a manteiga em banho-Maria.Bata bem as claras em castelo e reserve.Bata muito bem as gemas com o açúcar e, em seguida,junte o chocolate à manteiga, batendo até obter um creme homogéneo.Por fim, envolva as claras em castelo delicadamente, incorporando-as na mistura anterior. Leve ao frio umas horas ou, preferencialmente, de um dia para o outro e decore a gosto.
