Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brandy
3 egg yolks
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup shaved unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup Reese's Pieces
1/2 cup grape soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons dried apricots
1/4 cup salted cashews
1/4 cup popped popcorn
Sliced strawberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the mousse: In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate. Then stir in the granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Add the brandy and stir well.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH ORANGE LIQUEUR



Frozen Chocolate Mousse with Orange Liqueur image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (preferably Grand Marnier)
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the mousse: Line a 7- to 8-inch bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Beat 1 cup heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use. Clean and dry the beaters.
  • Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Heat the remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling, then pour over the chocolate and stir until melted. Set aside.
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a wide pot; reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Whisk the egg yolks, 1/2 cup orange liqueur and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a medium metal bowl. Set the bowl over the pot of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Continue whisking, frequently scraping down the sides of the bowl with the whisk, until the mixture is thick, has almost doubled in volume and leaves a trail when you lift the whisk, about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot. (If the yolk mixture thickens too quickly or starts to scramble, remove the bowl from the pot and let cool slightly, whisking, then return to the pot.)
  • Put the egg whites and the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a large metal bowl and set it over the simmering water. Beat on medium speed with a hand mixer until fluffy and shiny, about 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot and continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 4 more minutes.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg yolk mixture into the melted chocolate mixture until combined, then fold in the beaten egg whites until combined with some white streaks. (Do not overmix.) Gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon orange liqueur. Scrape the mixture into the plastic wrap¿lined bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Make the chocolate shell: Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Remove the mousse from the freezer and uncover. Invert onto a platter and gently remove the plastic wrap. Pour the chocolate shell over the mousse and spread with the back of a spoon or a pastry brush to make a thin layer. Return to the freezer until the chocolate hardens, at least 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar right before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh cream, good-quality chocolate, and brandy will make a big difference in the taste of the mousse.
  • Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it reach stiff peaks more quickly and easily.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. If you beat it too much, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the mousse with chocolate sauce, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Frozen brandy mousse with chocolate sauce is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make ahead of time, and it can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When you are ready to serve, simply thaw the mousse in the refrigerator for a few hours. This mousse is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
