 Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe


Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe

This dark chocolate mousse is luxuriously creamy, rich, and the perfect dessert for chocolate lovers. It’s simple yet sophisticated, making it ideal for dinner parties or a special treat.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended), finely chopped
  • 3 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved chocolate
  • Fresh berries

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

    • Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it gently over a double boiler (place the bowl over simmering water) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Let it cool slightly.

  2. Whip the Egg Whites:

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

  3. Whip the Cream:

    • In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

  4. Combine the Egg Yolks and Chocolate:

    • Stir the egg yolks into the slightly cooled melted chocolate until smooth.

  5. Fold in the Egg Whites:

    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

  6. Fold in the Whipped Cream:

    • Finally, fold in the whipped cream until just combined. The mousse should be light and airy.

  7. Chill:

    • Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.

  8. Serve:

    • Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries, if desired.

Tips and Variations:

  • Add Flavor: Stir in a tablespoon of coffee, espresso powder, or liqueur (like Grand Marnier or Bailey’s) to the melted chocolate for extra flavor.
  • Vegan Option: Use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate to create a vegan-friendly version. Replace the egg whites with aquafaba (chickpea water) whipped to stiff peaks.
  • Make Ahead: This mousse can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
