Classic Chocolate Mousse

 Basic Chocolate Mousse


Classic Chocolate Mousse

This Classic Chocolate Mousse is an elegant and rich dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. With its velvety smooth texture and deep chocolate flavor, it's sure to impress your guests and satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 8 oz (225g) high-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy cream, divided
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

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

  2. Whip the Cream:

    • In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip. Set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the mousse.

  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt together until the mixture is thick and pale.
    • In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly. Do not allow it to boil.

  4. Combine the Chocolate and Egg Mixture:

    • Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and stir until smooth and well combined. Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

  5. Fold in the Whipped Cream:

    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Start with a small portion to lighten the mixture, then fold in the rest, being careful not to deflate the mousse.

  6. Chill the Mousse:

    • Spoon the mousse into serving cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set and firm.

  7. Serve:

    • Before serving, top with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries, if desired.

Tips and Variations:

  • Flavor Additions: Add a tablespoon of liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier, Chambord, or Bailey’s) or a pinch of espresso powder to the melted chocolate for extra flavor depth.
  • Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk or almond cream in place of heavy cream, and a dairy-free chocolate.
  • Make-Ahead: Classic chocolate mousse is perfect for making ahead. Prepare it the day before and let it set overnight in the fridge.
