Chocolate Mousse & Quenelles Vanille (Fancy Mister Softee) by Erik of Fancy Fast Food with Chrissy a.k.a. “Miss Softee” Ingredients (from a Mister Softee truck): chocolate soft ice cream chocolate syrup waffle cone whipped cream chocolate sprinkles/jimmies/shots vanilla soft ice cream strawberry topping organic mint leaves (for garnish and a touch of irony) For an end-of-summer treat, you can make your Mister Softee fancy! To make the chocolate mousse, first put some chocolate ice cream in a mixing bowl and add plenty of chocolate syrup. (Adding anything thinner than syrup will turn the soft ice cream into a milkshake.) Whisk it until it has the texture of a mousse, then pour it into a fancy martini glass. Garnish the top with a swirl or drizzle of chocolate syrup, followed by some whipped cream, a piece of a waffle cone, chocolate sprinkles (or “jimmies” or “shots,” depending on what you call them in your region), and some organic mint leaves (for that touch of irony).Onto the quenelles vanille: put some vanilla ice cream in a mixing bowl, then shape it into a quenelle with two spoons. Put some strawberry topping in the center of a fancy white plate (they come in plastic too), and add the quenelle on top. Garnish with chocolate syrup and some ironic mint leaves. Voila!
