Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
- Allow the hazelnuts to cool, then chop them roughly. Set aside.
- Place the chopped milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the 2 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. Set aside.
- Gradually add the slightly cooled melted chocolate to the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly until well combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Ensure the bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease for the best results.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Mix gently to maintain the light and airy texture.
- Gently fold in the toasted and chopped hazelnuts, reserving a small amount for garnish.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or one large bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, garnish the top with the reserved chopped hazelnuts.
- Enjoy your delicious chocolate and hazelnut mousse!
Tips:
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature to achieve the best texture.
- Use high-quality milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to help it whip faster and create a more stable mousse.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the chocolate mixture to retain the mousse's airy texture.
- Consider toasting the hazelnuts lightly before adding them for an enhanced nutty flavor.
