Chocolate Mousse

 Classic Chocolate Mousse


Classic Chocolate Mousse

This Chocolate Mousse is rich, silky, and indulgent, making it a perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. It’s surprisingly simple to prepare and ideal for special occasions or as an elegant treat.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 6 oz (170g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

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

  2. Prepare the Egg Yolks:

    • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and half the sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Gradually whisk the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until smooth.

  3. Whip the Egg Whites:

    • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

  4. Whip the Cream:

    • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and whisk briefly to combine.

  5. Combine the Components:

    • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two batches until smooth.
    • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the mousse.

  6. Chill:

    • Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

  7. Serve:

    • Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.

Tips and Variations:

  • Flavor Enhancements: Add a tablespoon of liqueur like Grand Marnier, Baileys, or Kahlúa to the chocolate mixture for extra depth.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use dairy-free chocolate.
  • Make-Ahead: The mousse can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
