- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 150 grams dark chocolate
Garnish
- 75 ml heavy cream

Instructions
- Whip the mascarpone and vanilla paste in a medium-sized bowl for 60 seconds (I use a hand mixer).
- Add the heavy cream and whip only until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the maple syrup.
- Melt the dark chocolate.
- Add 50 grams of the melted dark chocolate to a piping bag, and let the remaining chocolate cool until lukewarm.
- Trace the outline of the serving glasses on parchment paper (turn the paper over).
- Pipe a dark chocolate flower on top of the outline, making sure it is wider than the glass.
- Repeat, and allow the flowers to set.

- Whip the heavy cream for the topping.
- Divide the mousse into serving glasses, and top with whipped cream and chocolate flowers.
