Chocolate Flower Tub filled with Eggless Chocolate Mousse and Crushed Oreo Biscuit

After seeing the above photo you  all are now thinking  that today I am going to write about my garden flower  pots,but if I say that I  am going to share the recipe  of Chocolate  Flower Tub Filled with Chocolate  Mousse and Crushed  Oreo Biscuit
,then..yes this is not regular flower tubs,they are made with chocolate.Though  they look like your everyday garden pots, right? But take a closer look… Nope, that’s not dirt you see, it’s chocolate ‘soil’..crushed Oreo biscuit mixed with butter.To make this recipe,I was inspired  by Master chef Sanjeev Kapoor's Khana Khazana site,though I made some variations.

My daughter summer vacation has been started almost one month  back.This time we did  not go anywhere, so just to spent her time made these adorable bite size flower pots. A moulded chocolate pot filled with Egg less Chocolate  Mousse  and topped with Crushed Oreo Biscuit mixed with butter.

Though I am a non vegetarian,but I do not like chocolate mousse with eggs. the thought of smell of raw eggs in a regular mousse, just makes me not to have it. So here I made Egg less chocolate Mousse.
