Easy & Simple Boba Mint Chocolate Mousse
Description
This mousse starts by heating a mixture of dark chocolate chips with milk, coconut milk, agar agar powder, sugar, and peppermint extract to boiling while whisking, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. Pouring the mixture through a fine sieve into molds and refrigerating allows it to set into a smooth, firm but tender texture.
Boba pearls are cooked by simmering in boiling water for 25 minutes until soft yet chewy, then soaked further to complete cooking. They are drained, rinsed, and mixed with brown sugar to add sweetness and a sticky glaze. The boba pearls provide a contrasting texture to the creamy mousse, making the dessert playful and texturally interesting.
The mousse should be chilled at least several hours or overnight for best set. Serving involves unmolding or serving directly in dessert bowls with the sugared boba pearls placed on top or alongside.
