Chocolate Mousse Components
Method
Preparation Steps
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Combine the Mixtures
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined. Then gently fold in the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Prepare Hazelnuts and Kumquats
While the mousse sets, toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan until golden. Slice the kumquats thinly.
Serve
Once the mousse is set, top with toasted hazelnuts, kumquat slices, and a scoop of hazelnut ice cream. Enjoy!
