CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE
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.

CREAMIEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
This is one of the best chocolate mousses I've ever tried. It's so creamy (o.k. probably extremely fattening but holiday calories never count, do they?)I personally make the mousse without any alcohol added. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra special effect.

FAVORITE CRANBERRY MOUSSE
We live about 100 miles from Cape Cod, which is known for its cranberries. When we spent a weekend there, we toured the Cranberry World Visitors Center, which is where I found this recipe. When I made it for our fellowship group at church, everyone wanted the recipe. You'll be surprised it's so easy to make with just four ingredients.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat the cranberry juice in a small saucepan over high heat. Whisk in the cranberry sauce and heat until mixture is completely melted and a pourable consistency is reached. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until to just before it comes to a simmer. Put the white chocolate chips in a medium bowl and pour in the hot milk. Let sit for 1 minute then whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled but not set, it should have a thick but pourable consistency.
- Add the cream to a chilled medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. Add the white chocolate to the whipped cream and gently fold together until completely incorporated.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce into the bottom of 4 dessert glasses. Put mousse into a resealable plastic bag and snip 1 corner. Use the bag to pipe mousse filling between the 4 glasses. Chill for 2 hours and up to overnight. Just before serving, top with a drizzle of remaining cranberry sauce.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mousse. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give your sauce a brighter, more tart flavor. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them and drain them well before using.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: This will help to create a light and fluffy mousse. Be careful not to over-whip the cream, or it will become grainy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: This will help to prevent the mousse from deflating.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- Serve the mousse with fresh cranberries and a drizzle of cranberry sauce: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dessert.
Conclusion:
This chocolate mousse with cranberry sauce is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. For a richer mousse, use a chocolate with a higher cocoa content. For a tarter sauce, use more cranberries. And for a sweeter mousse, add a little bit of sugar to the whipped cream. No matter how you make it, this chocolate mousse with cranberry sauce is sure to be a hit!
