This recipe is perfect for chocolate lovers who enjoy a decadent, yet refreshing treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sophisticated and delicious dessert that will impress your guests.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer or a whisk. This means the cream should hold its shape when the beaters or whisk are lifted out.
- Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
- Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another. Be sure no yolk gets mixed in with the whites.
- Add the tablespoon of sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is pale and thick. You can use an electric mixer or whisk by hand.
- Gradually fold the melted and cooled dark chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This means the whites should stand up straight when the beaters are lifted out.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain the airiness.
- Once incorporated, gently fold in the whipped cream, again being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the mousse into a large serving dish or individual serving cups.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Take the mousse out of the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Garnish with extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or berries if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chill your mixing bowls and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes before whipping the cream. This helps to achieve a better texture.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently to maintain the airy texture.
- Allow the mousse to freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best consistency.
Frozen chocolate mousse is an irresistible dessert that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. By following these steps and tips, you can create a rich, creamy, and perfectly frozen mousse that will be a hit at any gathering.
