Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whipping cream, divided
2 (8-ounce) packages semisweet chocolate squares
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10-ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
Garnishes: fresh mint sprigs, fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Line a 9- x 5-inch loafpan with plastic wrap, extending edges of wrap over sides of pan; set aside. Combine 1/2 cup whipping cream, chocolate squares, corn syrup, and butter in a heavy saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until chocolate melts. Cool. Beat remaining 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; fold into chocolate mixture. Pour into prepared pan, and chill at least 8 hours. Process raspberries in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Pour purée through a fine wire-mesh strainer, if desired, pressing with the back of a spoon; discard seeds. Chill. Invert mousse loaf onto a serving platter, and remove plastic wrap. Slice loaf, and serve with raspberry puree. Garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy mousse, make sure the chocolate and butter are melted slowly and evenly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is recommended.
  • Whip the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. Over-whipping can cause the egg whites to become grainy.
  • Fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Over-mixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
