Method

Mousse Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the milk chocolate over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip 400 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Beat the Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add 50 grams of sugar while continuing to beat.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined. Then fold in the beaten egg whites carefully to maintain the airy texture.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mousse

    Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Coconut Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Coconut Cream

    In a bowl, combine the coconut cream with 30 grams of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

  2. 7

    Toast the Coconut

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut until golden brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Mango Sauce Preparation

  1. 8

    Make Mango Sauce

    Peel and dice the ripe mango. In a blender, combine the mango pieces, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 10 grams of sugar. Blend until smooth.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Serve the Mousse

    Once the mousse has set, top each serving with a dollop of coconut cream and sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut. Drizzle with mango sauce before serving.
