Triple Chocolate Verrine

What is a Verrine?

According to Wikipedia, a Verrine is a small, thick-walled glass container with no base, whose purpose is to hold a solid or liquid dish rather than a drink. This French word is usually left untranslated.

We could say that this French dessert is served in small glasses only a bit taller and bigger than a shot glass, usually beautifully decorated.

This Three Chocolate Verrine uses the classic combination of different chocolate flavors: Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate & White Chocolate. It is simple to make, but you need to make sure you're using a great quality chocolate to get a perfect mousse!

This is why you should use Santa Barbara Chocolate!
