2109. Restaurant Chocolate Mousse

There is no lack of chocolate mousses on MCW, but this just might be the most authentically French bistro one, using just eggs, sugar, chocolate, and butter. The result after an overnight rest in the fridge is an impossibly rich yet still airy dessert. As usual, the outcome in such a minimal ingredient recipe is only as good as the quality of the ingredients, so invest in a good quality chocolate for this.



Ingredients:

250g dark chocolate
120g butter
4 egg yolks
8 egg whites
40g sugar
pinch of salt



Method:

In a bowl over simmering water, melt together the chocolate and butter. Set aside to cool slightly.
Whip the egg whites to a soft peak. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue beating to a stiff peak. 
By this time the chocolate has cooled but remains liquid. Whisk in the egg yolks and a pinch of salt until well incorporated. Using a spatula, fold in the egg whites in three batches, trying to maintain as much air as possible into the mixture. Pour into your large serving bowl and allow to set, covered, in the refrigerator overnight. Serve chilled.

صحة و عافية
