Face Mask: Montagne Jeunesse White Chocolate

In my opinion there is nothing better to relax after a long day then pampering yourself. Enter a hot bath, an at home manicure or... a face mask! 

Last week I used an ultra deep cleansing White Chocolate mask from Montagne Jeunesse. Chocolate on my face? Yes please! ;) 

The pros:
+ It feels nice and creamy on the skin
+ My skin felt clean afterwards but not dry at all

The cons:
- It smells nice but more like dark chocolate, which I found a bit odd
- About the ultra deep cleansing claim: my skin felt clean but I didn't see a noticeable  difference in my skin 

Overall, I liked this mask. However, I won't buy it again as I'm still looking for a good cleansing one. Recommendations are always welcome in the comments!

Recipe: White Chocolate Mousse

picture from: simplygreatmeals.com.au 

Last sunday, I tried this recipe that I received from a co-worker. It came out so good that I decided to share it with you!

Note that the picture is not my own. I didn't manage to take a photo before tasting plus I prefer the way it is served in this one, I however didn't have raspberries at home ;)

Ingredients for 10 portions (more or less depending on the size):

- 2 sheets of gelatin

- 4 eggs, separated

- 50 grams of granulated sugar

- 3 dl heavy cream

- 400 grams of white chocolate

1) Soak the gelatin in cold water.

2) Melt the chocolate in 1/2 dl of heavy cream.

3) Squeeze the gelatin to remove excess water and add to the chocolate. Stir until combined.

4) Whisk the egg yokes with half of the sugar until light yellow and foamy.

5) Whip the remaining heavy cream to stiff peaks.

6) Whip the egg whites and remaining half of the sugar also to stiff peaks.

7) Mix the chocolate mixture (lukewarm) with the foamy egg yokes. Add the egg whites and mix well. Lastly, add the whipped cream. Fold until just combined, don't mix too long or the cream will separate.

8) Divide between the containers of your choice and put in the fridge to set.

Bon appétit! Jorien
