Chocolate Mousse Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Mousse:
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:
- Melt the Chocolate: Combine the finely chopped chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Egg Yolks: Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the melted chocolate mixture, stirring constantly. Set aside.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until combined. Then fold in the beaten egg whites until the mixture is uniform.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating (if desired):
- Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes. If using the chocolate coating, drizzle or dip the mousse in the melted chocolate before serving.
