THE Queen is a chocoholic and loves to eat dark chocolate coffee mousse, her former chef has revealed.
Darren McGrady spent over a decade creating dishes for Her Majesty.
He said: “The Queen was definitely a chocoholic, she loves dark chocolate.
“I used to make a mousse au chocolate et café — a dark chocolate mousse — and I added in some real espresso coffee to intensify the flavour.
“That was on the menu quite a bit at the Palace.”
Darren, 60, started in the royal kitchen in 1982 making food for the corgis and peeling carrots for the Queen’s horse at Balmoral.

During his time as a royal chef he also cooked for Princes William, Harry and Princess Diana.
Darren is based in Dallas, Texas and has also cooked for five US presidents.
He also said Gordon Ramsay could never be a chef at Buckingham Palace “because of his ego”.
