Chocolate Recipe of the Month
Classic Chocolate
Mousse
From: Chocolate Bliss by Sharon O'Connor
Available at Tre Sorelle Cioccolato
4 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, rated or finely chopped
4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
1. In a double boiler over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring constantly until melted; immediately remove from heat. Or, melt the chocolate in a microwave on medium for 1 minute; stir and repeat until the chocolate is melted.
2. In a large, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a handheld electric mixer until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the sugar and salt and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until blended.
3. In a deep bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form; stir in the liqueur. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture; the mixture will be very soft.
4. Divide the mousse evenly among stemmed glasses or pretty bowls, or pour it into a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days before serving.
Makes 6 to 8 servings |
