Perfect Dessert for Lovers

Let’s see what it takes to make this divine dessert, besides having the desire to go into the kitchen. Because I warn you, if you just approach it casually, it surely won’t turn out well. The mousse is made with love, as well as with chocolate, butter, eggs, and cream.

Chocolate Mousse

If you’ve got everything from the fridge, melt one and a half bars of dark chocolate over a double boiler. I admit, I do it in a small saucepan over a gas flame, but try this only if you’re highly skilled. Add about 20 grams of butter to the chocolate and mix the mass until smooth. Then add two egg yolks and cook the mixture until thickened, then let it cool. If you like, you can add chilli, orange zest, and mint. Chilli is my personal favourite. While the chocolate mixture is cooling, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Similarly, beat 250 millilitres of cream until stiff peaks form.

Here’s a little trick! If the cream doesn’t want to stiffen enough, add 1-2 teaspoons of flour. I know it’s surprising, but it works! Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, fold in the whipped cream, then the egg whites, but gently! Spoon the soft cream into glasses, chill, and eat it quickly.

Chocolate Mousse

By the way, you can make two types of cream from this mixture. If you only lightly mix the chocolate with the whipped cream, you’ll get a marbled mousse, if you fully incorporate it, maybe add 1-2 teaspoons of cocoa additionally, you can conjure up a real chocolate miracle on the table!

Ingredients:

– 1 1/2 bars (about 150g) of dark chocolate
– 20g unsalted butter
– 2 eggs, separated
– Optional: chilli, orange zest, mint for flavouring
– 250ml heavy cream
– 1-2 teaspoons of flour (if needed to stiffen the cream)
