 Triple Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Triple chocolate mousse is an elegant and indulgent dessert that layers dark, milk, and white chocolate mousses. Here's a detailed recipe:

Ingredients:

Dark Chocolate Mousse:

• 4 ounces (115g) dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, divided
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Milk Chocolate Mousse:

• 4 ounces (115g) milk chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, divided
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

White Chocolate Mousse:

• 4 ounces (115g) white chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, divided
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions:

Dark Chocolate Mousse:

1. Melt Chocolate:

   • Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.

2. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

3. Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture:

   • Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and pour it over the melted chocolate. Stir until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.

4. Whip Cream:

   • Whip the remaining 3/4 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.

5. Chill:

   • Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses, filling them one-third of the way. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.

Milk Chocolate Mousse:

1. Melt Chocolate:

   • Repeat the same steps for the milk chocolate mousse as for the dark chocolate mousse.

2. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • Follow the same method, using the milk chocolate, cream, egg yolk, and sugar.

3. Combine and Fold:

   • Once the milk chocolate mixture is cool, fold in the whipped cream.

4. Chill:

   • Spoon or pipe the milk chocolate mousse on top of the dark chocolate mousse layer. Chill again.

White Chocolate Mousse:

1. Melt Chocolate:

   • Repeat the same steps for the white chocolate mousse as for the dark and milk chocolate mousses.

2. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • Follow the same method, using the white chocolate, cream, egg yolk, and sugar.

3. Combine and Fold:

   • Once the white chocolate mixture is cool, fold in the whipped cream.

4. Chill:

   • Spoon or pipe the white chocolate mousse on top of the milk chocolate mousse layer. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Serving:

• Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries if desired.
• Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent triple chocolate mousse!

Tips:

• Quality Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
• Egg Safety: Use pasteurized eggs if you are concerned about using raw egg yolks.
• Layering: Ensure each mousse layer is set before adding the next to maintain distinct layers.

This triple chocolate mousse is a show-stopping dessert that's perfect for any special occasion!
