Lingering over a special dessert offers a similar sense of contentment to that described in The Secret Garden: “Dickon and Mary were sitting on the grass, the tea-basket was repacked ready to be taken back to the house, and Colin was lying against his cushions with his heavy locks pushed back from his forehead and his face looking quite a natural color.” Amid this scene of unhurried relaxation, enjoy Chocolate Mousse in Chocolate Cups, decadent treats topped with fresh berries, edible flowers, and a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
