Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the dark chocolate and set it aside.
- Separate the egg yolks if you haven't already.
- Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate heatproof bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar.
- Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water (using the double boiler method again).
- Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes pale in color. This process should take about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and continue to whisk for a few more minutes to cool it slightly.
- Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined.
- Set this chocolate-egg mixture aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. You can use an electric mixer for this.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Fold in the raspberries, leaving a few for garnish if desired.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with the reserved raspberries.
- Optionally, you can add a shaving of dark chocolate on top for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to whisk the egg yolks constantly when heating to avoid curdling.
- Chill the mousse thoroughly before serving to achieve the best consistency.
- Garnish with extra raspberries and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
- The mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
There you have it – a rich and luscious Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Mousse that's perfect for any occasion. The harmony between the deep, bittersweet chocolate and the tart raspberries offers an exquisite dessert experience. Enjoy each spoonful and savor the decadent flavors!
