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
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ½ ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons water
⅛ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
1 tiny pinch salt
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, chilled

Steps:

When the butter melts, whisk the chocolate mixture gently until smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

  • Pour 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon cold cream into a chilled metal bowl; whisk until cream holds soft peaks. Place about half the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture; gently fold the cream into the chocolate. Repeat with remaining half of whipped cream, folding gently until nearly all the streaks have disappeared. Divide mousse into 4 6-ounce ramekins.
  • Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours (up to overnight) before serving.

Yield 4

1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 ½ cups milk
1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of the mousse. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a glossy finish. If you don't temper the chocolate, it may seize up and become grainy.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: When you whip the cream, it incorporates air and becomes light and fluffy. Make sure you whip the cream until stiff peaks form, otherwise the mousse will be too soft.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: When you fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing will deflate the whipped cream and make the mousse too dense.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse before serving helps it to set and firm up. This will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Giada's Moroccan Chocolate Mousse is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, hint of spice, and creamy texture, this mousse is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
