Butter sides & bottom of 1 qt glass loaf pan. Line bottom with parchment

Gently transfer to mixing bowl. Do not wash work bowl.

Put chocolate, cocoa, sugar, & salt into work bowl. Turn the machine on &
off 4 times to chop the chocolate coarsley, then process for 1 minute until
chocolate is finely chopped. With the machine running, pour the hot butter
through the feed tube and process for 1 minute, until the chocolate is

of the workbowl to loosen the mixture. Turn machine on & off 3 more times
until the ingredients are mixed. Some streaks of white may be visible; do
not overprocess.

hours, or until well chilled.

Carefully separate the mousse from the pan using a thin knife or flexible
spatula. Invert onto a serving platter and remove the pan. Press the
remaining walnuts into any bare spots. Let the loaf set at room temperature
for 1/2 hour before serving.

Makes 8-10 servings.

Note: the mousse can be prepared up to 1 month in advance, covered airtight
and frozen. Let thaw, covered, for 24 hours in refrigerator.
