Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 small ramekins, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate bars, chopped or broken in small pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup water, divided (2 tbsp for chocolate, 2 tbsp for egg mixture)
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
very tiny pinch salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (as cold as possible)

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate, butter and 2tbsp water in a double-boiler. (I actually did this in a metal bowl over lightly simmering pan of water). Make sure the water isn't boiling hard - chocolate melts remarkably quickly and you don't want to rush this process or you'll lose the shiny texture. While melting it, continuously stir the chocolate.
  • Again, in a double-boiler, whisk the egg yolks and sugar. The eggs should get cooked just a tad. 2-3 minutes, maybe. Again, don't let the water get too hot. Make sure you don't scramble the eggs.
  • Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and allow to cool slightly below room temperature (You can achieve this by setting it on top of a bowl of ice for a few minutes).
  • Whip the heavy cream so that you get soft peaks. Basically, you want the peaks to stay, but not too sharply (otherwise the texture isn't as "sexy").
  • Add ground chipotle and salt to the chocolate/egg mixture and fold in the whipped cream.
  • Fill into ramekins or similar container.
  • Chill overnight or at least 3-4 hours.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large eggs, separated*
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur
4 teaspoons Chili Oil, recipe follows
7 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
Spicy Whipped Cream, recipe follows
2 cups olive oil
4 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.

Remove the chocolate from over the water. Fold 1/3 of the meringue into the warm chocolate mixture to lighten, then fold in the remaining meringue.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Spoon the mousse into 6-ounce bowls. Top with spicy whipped cream and serve.

This has a pinch of chile pepper as the secret ingredient. It's firm yet unbelievably light and airy. The little bit of chile pepper is in there just to bring out the flavor of the chocolate and add a tiny bit of delicious heat. Garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs, separated
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
1 cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Chill a large bowl for about 1 hour.
  • Melt chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Whisk egg yolks into chocolate one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend completely before adding the next.
  • Beat egg whites in another bowl until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup white sugar until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
  • Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream in chilled bowl until thickened. Add 2 tablespoons white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; continue to beat until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold egg whites into chocolate mixture. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture until mousse is just blended. Spoon chocolate mousse into pie crust. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Beat 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt in bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon over chocolate mousse before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will prevent it from burning.
  • Do not overbeat the egg whites. If they are overbeaten, they will become dry and stiff, which will make the mousse grainy.
  • Fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the mousse less airy.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or shaved chocolate for a delicious and elegant dessert.

Conclusion:

Chili chocolate mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and a hint of chili heat, this mousse is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are serving it at a dinner party or enjoying it as a special treat, chili chocolate mousse is a dessert that you will love.
