Chocolate Mousse
Chez's Recipe
Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 150g of cooking chocolate (I prefer Cadbury or Nestle, for a fuller, satisfying taste)
- 4 eggs, separated
- 300ml of cream
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- cream to serve
- grated chocolate to garnish
Method
- Break the chocolate up, (or if your using Nestle Melts just use them as is) and place into a medium saucepan.
- In a large sized saucepan, fill 1/2 way with water and boil, then turn down to simmer.
- Hold the medium saucepan with chocolate over the large saucepan with water to allow the chocolate to melt.
- Once chocolate is fully melted, allow it to cool slightly before the next steps.
- Stir yolks into the chocolate. Beat until thick and smooth.
- Beat cream separately until thick, then quickly fold the chocolate mixture into the cream.
- Beat egg whites separately until stiff, but not dry. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and glossy.
- Fold half of the egg-white mixture into the chocolate mixture until well mixed.
- Repeat with remaining egg-white mixture. Pour into four or six individual dishes or one large one.
- Chill until set.
- Serve decorated with whipped cream and grated chocolate.
