Creamy Mocha Chocolate And Raspberry Parfait

We are too apt to forget that temptation to sin will rarely present itself to us in its true colors, saying, “I am your deadly enemy, and I want to ruin you forever in hell.” Oh no! Sin comes to us like Judas, with a kiss; like Joab, with outstretched hand and flattering words. The forbidden fruit seemed good and desirable to Eve; yet it cast her out of Eden. Walking idly on his palace roof seemed harmless enough to David; yet it ended in adultery and murder. Sin rarely seems (like) sin at first beginnings. Let us then watch and pray, lest we fall into temptation.

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the mousse, combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food
processor and puree until creamy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the  mousse
to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.  To prepare the raspberry sauce,
combine 1 1/2 cups of raspberries and  the remaining ingredients in the
bowl of a food processor and puree  until smooth. Strain the raspberry
sauce through a fine strainer  (rubbing with a rubber spatula to work
through the mesh) into a small  bowl. Mix in the remaining 1 cup of
whole raspberries, cover, and  refrigerate for about 15 minutes.  Spoon
a 1-inch deep layer of mousse into long, narrow parfait glasses  or
small glass dessert bowls, spreading out evenly. Top with a layer  of
raspberry sauce. Repeat, ending with a layer of mousse. Chill for  at
least 20 minutes. Garnish with some whole raspberries and a mint  leaf.
