Chef Damien Le Bihan: Chocolate Mousse

Chef Damien Le Bihan’s Chocolate Mousse


Here’s a delightful recipe for Chocolate Mousse, inspired by the refined techniques of Chef Damien Le Bihan. This classic French dessert is smooth, airy, and rich—perfect for any chocolate lover.

Chef Damien Le Bihan’s Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa), finely chopped
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, depending on your chocolate's sweetness)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Whipped cream and chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.

  2. Prepare the Egg Yolks:

    • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly add the slightly cooled melted chocolate to the yolks, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

  3. Beat the Egg Whites:

    • In a clean, dry bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of sea salt. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, if using, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

  4. Fold the Mixtures:

    • Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two batches, using a spatula and a gentle motion to maintain the airy texture.

  5. Chill the Mousse:

    • Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

  6. Serve:

    • Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Tips and Variations:

  • Flavored Chocolate Mousse: Add a splash of coffee, rum, or orange liqueur to the melted chocolate for a sophisticated twist.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Ensure your chocolate is dairy-free and skip the whipped cream garnish.
  • Pairing Ideas: Serve alongside fresh berries, a crisp cookie, or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
