Chocolate Mousse

CREAMY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE – the perfect ending to a meal.

Ingredients required for chocolate mousse:

Milk Chocolate (Compound) – 500g

Butter – 90g

Whipped cream – 200g

Egg white - 4

Egg yolk (Yellow) - 2

How to prepare chocolate mousse:

Melt the chocolate & butter in a glass bowl, microwave preferably for about 2-3 minutes on low,  and stir till it gets to a smooth liquid consistency (Use a larger bowl, as you’ll have to mix all the other ingredients into the chocolate+butter mixture). In another bowl take the whipped cream and whip it further, till you see the fluffy stiff peaks forming. Set it aside. In bowl No.3 whip the egg whites till the thick peaks form again.

Now into the chocolate mixture, put the egg yolks & stir slightly. Next, fold in the whipped egg white in small portions. Make sure you fold the mixture and not stir it. Profuse stirring will result in a dense textured mousse and not light and creamy.

After the egg white, fold in the whipped cream in the same manner. Make sure all the ingredients incorporate well into a creamy mixture.

And that’s it, the process is done. Simple isn’t it?

All you have to do now is pour it in a serving tray, place it in the fridge & wait n wait n wait till it sets properly.

Garnish (Optional)

You can garnish the mousse with choco-chips/choco-rice/grated chocolate/colorful sprinkles/chocolate truffle etc.

How to make chocolate truffle for garnish:

Melt a small chunk of dark chocolate and pour warm milk in it. Continuous stirring required. As soon as you pour milk, it forms into a lump. Continue stirring as it loosens up into a thick liquid. The thickness depends on your liking. More milk, more liquid consistency.

Recommended – Let it be little thick as it gets easy to garnish.

Once you put mousse in the fridge for setting, wait for 10-15 min and then pour the truffle on it and put it back in the fridge. This will avoid mousse and truffle mixing up.

Enjoy your creamy chocolaty mousse!
