Re: Anything and everything Chocolate.
Chocolate mousse #2
This mousse does not use egg whites and is less fluffy than the previous mousse.
4 large egg yolks
4 TBLSP of sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
8 ounces bitter-sweet chocolate (170 gram)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1.) In a medium saucepan , whisk together eggs yolks, 2 TBLSP of the sugar, and heavy cream.
2.) Cook over medium-low low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon and leaves a "track" when a finger is run across it. this takes 3-4 minutes. DO NOT BOIL !!!
3.) remove from heat; whisk in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap touching the mixture. Chill until cool.
4.) Use an electric mixer and beat cream with the remaining 2 TBLSP of sugar until stiff peaks form.
5.Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Then gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
6.) Spoon into serving dishes. cover, and chill at leat 1 hour before serving.
7.) remove from refrigerator 1 hour before serving.
