Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the butter into small cubes and set it aside to soften at room temperature.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl and the whites in a separate large mixing bowl.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Once done, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar to the egg yolks.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
- In a small saucepan, melt the softened butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until it is fully melted.
- Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before incorporating it into the egg yolk mixture.
- Gradually add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly until well combined.
- Clean and dry the beaters before moving on to the egg whites.
- Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks. This process might take around 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it. Use a rubber spatula and fold in a circular motion until just combined.
- Gradually fold in the remaining egg whites in two more stages, being careful to retain as much air in the mixture as possible.
- Retrieve the whipped cream from the refrigerator.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg and butter mixture until there are no streaks remaining. The batter should be smooth and airy.
- Transfer the mousse to individual serving bowls or a large serving dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until set.
- Once set, you can garnish the chocolate mousse with a dusting of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy texture of Madeleine's Chocolate Mousse!
Tips:
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps them blend together more smoothly.
- When melting the butter, do it slowly over low heat to prevent burning.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks carefully to ensure no yolk gets into the whites, as this will affect how well they whip.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks for the perfect mousse texture.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to maintain its airy consistency.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
In just a few steps, you can create Madeleine's chocolate mousse, a delightful and indulgent dessert that everyone will enjoy.
