CHOCOLATE MOUSSE



Chocolate Mousse image

Each mouthful of this dessert is a marvel: as light as a meringue pie topping, but with the eggy silkiness of a creamy chocolate custard. This mousse has a particularly airy texture, but is still a little rich from the bittersweet chocolate, which makes it the ideal not-too-sweet dessert. Because the mousse develops an even deeper flavor over time, it's perfect for parties. You can make it up to five days ahead of time and serve it straight from the refrigerator.

Categories     custards and puddings, parfaits and trifles, dessert

Time P1DT20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup/120 grams heavy cream, plus more if needed and for serving if you'd like
12 ounces/340 grams bittersweet chocolate, coarsely broken or chopped (see Tip)
8 large egg whites (265 grams/1 cup)
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks (56 grams)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Bring an inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Combine the cream and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. When the water boils, turn the heat to low so the water is barely simmering or just steaming. Set the bowl over the saucepan and melt the chocolate, gently stirring with a whisk now and then.
  • While the chocolate melts, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer on medium speed. When the whites are foamy, add the sugar in a slow stream while whisking. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form. The whites should look glossy but not dry, and, when you lift the whisk from the mixture, a peak should form in the bowl and hold.
  • Once the chocolate has melted completely, turn off the heat but leave the bowl over the saucepan. Holding the bowl with a kitchen towel, add the egg yolks one at a time, whisking after each addition. If the mixture looks broken, remove the bowl from the saucepan, cool for a minute, then add 1 tablespoon cream and whisk just until shiny and smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. (Don't worry if it still doesn't look completely smooth. It will come together in the next step.)
  • Add a quarter of the beaten whites to the chocolate mixture and stir gently with a flexible rubber spatula until incorporated but still a little streaky. This will make it easier to fold in the remaining whites to create an airy mousse by gradually lowering the temperature of the chocolate (tempering) and making the mixture loose.
  • Add the rest of the whites and fold them in by running the spatula from 12 o'clock on the bowl to 6 o'clock, then scooping up the chocolate on the bottom and gently folding it over the whites as you move toward 9 o'clock. Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and repeat. Continue folding just until the last streak of white disappears. It's OK if there are a few lumps of whites left. It's better to not deflate the batter by folding too much.
  • Scoop into a pretty bowl or into individual cups or bowls for serving if you'd like. Otherwise, keep it in the mixing bowl. Refrigerate the mousse uncovered until cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 more hours and preferably 24. The covered mousse can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • If you'd like to serve the mousse with whipped cream, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. A cup or two of heavy cream is plenty for this amount of mousse. Serve the mousse cold, straight from the refrigerator, with the whipped cream.

Provided by Valerie

Categories     Chocolate Mousse

Time 3h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 (12 ounce) bags semisweet chocolate chips
1 (11.5 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
¾ cup coffee
8 egg yolks
8 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup white sugar
16 egg whites
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Melt semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips in heavy saucepan over very low heat while stirring. Stir coffee into the melted chocolate, remove from heat, and cool to room temperature.
  • Beat egg yolks, one at a time, into the chocolate mixture.
  • Beat heavy cream with an electric hand mixer in a large mixing bowl until thickened. Gradually beat sugar into the cream until the mixture is stiff.
  • Beat egg whites with the salt in a separate glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form; fold into the cream mixture. Take about 1/3 of the resulting mixture and stir into the chocolate mixture.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the chocolate and cream are at the right temperature before combining them. The chocolate should be slightly melted and the cream should be cold.
  • Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help to give the mousse a light and fluffy texture.
  • 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 before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a chocolate sauce.

Conclusion:

Wicked Hot Chocolate Mousse is an easy and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, creamy, and full of chocolate flavor. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
