Method

Hazelnut Mousse

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until soft. Squeeze out excess water.

  2. 2

    Whip Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

    Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (double boiler).

    Cook Cream and Milk

    In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, and sugar. Heat the mixture until just below boiling.

  4. 8

    Combine Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.

  5. 9

    Combine and Thicken

    Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and add melted chocolate and gelatin.

    Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and chopped hazelnuts. Fold into the wet mixture.

    Bake Brownie

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Jelly
