Report
Light and decadently creamy chocolate mousse!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 cup chocolate broken into pieces, or chips (good quality like Green & Black's)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp chocolate shavings or sprinkles to decorate (optional)
Instructions
- First, melt the chocolate at 50% power or the defrost setting in the microwave, or over a double boiler. Make sure to use a dry bowl as any water can ruin the chocolate.
- Next, whip the cream until thick, but not too stiff.
- Now, whip the egg yolks until very pale and thick. If using a hand mixer, this will take about 5 minutes, but if using a stand mixer, it should be ready in about 3 minutes. Leave the mixer as is, as we’ll be coming back to it soon.
- Now put the sugar and water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until the liquid reaches 235ºF (116ºC) or until a drop of liquid forms a ball in a glass of ice water.
- Next, pour the hot liquid slowly and CAREFULLY into the thick egg yolks while beating them. Continue beating for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the melted chocolate and continue beating until well mixed. Remove from mixer, and with a spatula, add the whipped cream. With the spatula, fold in the cream.
- When there is no marbling left, spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate or freeze until ready to serve (at least 2 hours).
Notes
- Freeze it for a frozen treat!
