🍫 Choco Mousse Euphoria – A Chocolate Lover’s Dream! 🍫
Indulge in this rich, airy, and velvety chocolate mousse that melts in your mouth with every bite. Perfect for a decadent dessert or a luxurious treat!
📝 Ingredients
✔ 6 oz (170g) dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped
✔ 2 tbsp unsalted butter
✔ 2 large egg yolks
✔ ¼ cup sugar
✔ ½ cup heavy cream (for mixture)
✔ ½ cup heavy cream (whipped for topping)
✔ ½ tsp vanilla extract
✔ Pinch of salt
🍴 Instructions
1️⃣ Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt chopped chocolate and butter over a double boiler (or microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between).
Once smooth, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2️⃣ Make the Egg Mixture
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and ¼ cup heavy cream over a simmering pot of water (double boiler). Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and mix into the melted chocolate.
3️⃣ Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining ½ cup heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
4️⃣ Fold & Chill
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Divide into serving glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for the best texture).
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Top with whipped cream, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings before serving.
🌟 Pro Tips
✔ For an extra silky texture, strain the egg mixture before adding it to the chocolate.
✔ Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
✔ Add a splash of espresso for an intense chocolate depth.
