Does anybody remember the simple recipe for Chocolate Mouse by Black Saturn? I've tried searching and I can't find anything on the index etc. I've looked for other recipes but most contain raw egg and I'm pregnant so it's a no-no.

Mulled wine
We have been given a bottle of mulled wine for Christmas. We don't drink but don't want to throw it away. Has anyone any ideas for uses for it - puddings maybe? To make it extra hard they have to be vegan! I'm sure there will be someone who can help.
