🍫 Classic Chocolate Mousse Recipe
🧾 Ingredients (for 4 servings):
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate (around 70% cocoa, chopped)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Melt the chocolate
- Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler method).
- Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Whip the cream
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Keep it in the fridge while you prepare the rest.
- Beat the egg whites
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the sugar while beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Combine chocolate and egg yolks
- Whisk the egg yolks into the slightly cooled melted chocolate until smooth.
- (Make sure the chocolate isn’t too hot, or it’ll scramble the eggs.)
- Fold everything together
- Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula until combined.
- Then fold in the egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Chill and serve
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses.
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until set.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or whipped cream before serving.
🍮 Tips for Perfect Texture:
✅ Use room-temperature eggs for easier mixing.
✅ Don’t overmix — the air from the whipped cream and egg whites gives it that light, fluffy texture.
✅ Chill overnight for an even richer, smoother mousse.
💚 Optional Variations:
- Add a tablespoon of coffee or espresso to the melted chocolate for mocha flavor.
- Add a splash of orange liqueur or vanilla extract for aroma.
- Make it dairy-free by using coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
