Trying a Knox Gelatin recipe

Chocolate Whirl is a wonderful chocolate mousse dessert that has a lot of flavour. It was an adventure to make, and a learning experience. Easy to make, It is a great dessert to serve any time, and if you want's to use the orange liqueur, you could add fresh fruit on top, orange pieces, raspberries, strawberries or peaches would be great.


The recipe is from the Knox Gelatin box, although the recipe does not appear on their website.
