Chocolate Truffle Mousse
Method
Instructions
- 1
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir the chocolate until it has completely melted and is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- 2
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, pour the heavy cream and whip it using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; it should be thick but still pourable.
- 3
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
- 4
Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until well combined. Make sure the chocolate is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
- 5
Fold in Whipped Cream
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg mixture in three additions, being gentle to keep the mixture light and airy.
- 6
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- 7
Serve
Before serving, dust the top of each mousse with cocoa powder. Enjoy your rich and creamy chocolate truffle mousse!
