Chocolate Mousse

Delicate yet rich dessert that goes perfectly for any celebration. This Chocolate Mousse is made from scratch and it’s worth every second you put into it.

Chocolate Mousse has been my go-to recipe for many celebrations and holidays. It’s always a crowd-pleaser and I love the fact that it can be prepared ahead of time. It’s so nice when you can get dessert out of the way the night before you have a party planned.

Ingredients :

• 8 oz bittersweet baking chocolate
• 1/2 cup of water split in two
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions :

1. First, make whipped cream and set it in the fridge until ready to use: Using a cold whisk attachment, beat cold heavy cream in the cold bowl of an electric mixer, until soft peaks appear.
2. Preheat water in the double boiler over medium heat. Add chocolate, 1/4 cup of water, butter and vanilla extract. Let it start melting and then stir with a silicone covered whisk until all melted and smooth. Take off heat and set aside.
3. In a small, heavy sauce pot, over medium-low (to low) heat, whisk egg yolks, 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of sugar together. Cook stirring slowly but constantly, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees (F). This could take up to 10 minutes but don't walk away or you will cook your eggs. Take off heat.
4. Stir egg mixture into chocolate mixture until all combined and smooth.
5. Place some ice into a large mixing bowl. Set the sauce pot in the ice bath. Let chocolate cool, while slowly stirring, for 5-7 minutes.
