Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces dark chocolate pastilles, such as Valrhona Manjari
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
12 ounces heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
Blackberry Sauce, recipe follows
Grated dark chocolate, for garnish
Whipped cream, optional, for serving
1 pint fresh blackberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons blackberry liqueur

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler at a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the espresso powder and mix to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
  • Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla to soft peaks in a large bowl, then let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whip the egg whites in a separate large bowl until they hold soft peaks. Set aside.
  • Take a large spoonful of the egg whites and mix into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold the remaining egg whites in. Fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks appear. Divide among glasses or bowls. Top with Blackberry Sauce, grated chocolate and whipped cream, if using.
  • Combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the berries soften and break down, about 10 minutes. Mash the berries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add the liqueur and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve. Let cool slightly before using.

FROZEN BLACKBERRY MOUSSE



Frozen Blackberry Mousse image

One of my favorite summer treats! I remember searching the woods for enough blackberries for my mother to make Blackberry Mousse. She would spread it in a pyrex dish and scoop it out with an ice cream scoop. I like to use the muffin tins. After they are frozen you can take them out of the pan and put them in large ziplock freezer bags and take them out as individual servings. It is best if you let them thaw slightly before eating.
