Indulge in the rich, velvety decadence of our Double Choc Hazelnut Mousse. This sumptuous dessert brings together the deep flavors of dark and milk chocolate with a hint of hazelnut, making it the perfect treat for chocolate lovers. Delivered with a light and airy texture, this mousse promises to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering or a delightful end to a special meal.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1/2 cup milk chocolate
120g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g

Instructions:

1. Melt the Chocolates:
- Coarsely chop the dark chocolate and milk chocolate.
- Place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolates are fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolates in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Set aside to slightly cool.
2. Separate the Eggs:
- Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
- Beat the egg yolks thoroughly and set aside.
3. Whip the Egg Whites:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will take about 2-3 minutes on a high setting. Set aside.
4. Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- In another bowl, add the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks form.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue beating until well combined and stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
5. Combine Chocolates with Egg Yolks:
- Gradually add the beaten egg yolks into the melted chocolate, folding gently until well incorporated.
6. Incorporate Egg Whites:
- Gradually fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, ensuring you fold gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
7. Fold in the Whipped Cream:
- Finally, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Fold gently but thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
8. Chill the Mousse:
- Divide the mousse evenly into serving dishes or glasses.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and chilled.
9. Serve:
- Once set, you can garnish the mousse with additional chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few whole hazelnuts before serving if desired.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.

- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for smoother incorporation.

- When whipping the cream, stop when soft peaks form to avoid overwhipping.

- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to maintain the mousse's airy texture.

- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
