Are you looking for a fancy dessert? The Martha Stewart Chocolate Mousse Recipe is the best choice. It is rich, smooth, and very airy.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Small saucepan
- Electric hand mixer
- Six small serving glasses.
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces.
- 1 cup heavy cream chilled.
- 3 large egg whites at room temperature.
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Pinch of salt.
Instructions
- Place chocolate and butter in a bowl. Melt them over a pot of simmering water. Stir until the mix is very smooth.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream. Use your mixer until soft peaks form. Do not overmix the cream.
- Beat egg whites and salt in a clean bowl. Slowly add sugar while mixing. Beat until the whites are stiff and shiny.
- Gently fold chocolate into the whipped cream. Then, fold in the egg whites slowly. Keep the air in the mousse.
- Spoon the mousse into small glasses. Chill in the fridge for three hours. Serve with a dollop of cream.
Notes
- Use the best chocolate you can find.
- Cheap chocolate will not melt as well.
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature.
- This helps the whites fluff up more.
- Fold the ingredients very gently.
- Use a "round and through" motion.
- Do not stir fast or it will go flat.
