Easy Chocolate Mousse
Discover a straightforward, easy chocolate mousse recipe that requires no advanced culinary skills to create. You're guaranteed a result that's both silky smooth and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
- 100 g chocolate chopped (you can also use dark chocolate 85% cocoa- it's healthier)
- 30 ml coffee dark-brewed
- 2 eggs separated
- 1 tbsp sugar skip this ingredient if you're using sweet chocolate
- 3 ml rum extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Heat a saucepan one-third full with hot water, and in a bowl set on top, melt together the chocolate and coffee, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
- I used a steam oven to melt the chocolate. It's easier and it is ready in 7-8 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks with 1 tbsp of sugar and rum for about 3 minutes until the mixture is thick. (You can also use a handheld electric mixer.)
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg yolks.
- Whisk the egg whites with salt and vanilla in a separate bowl until you get a foamy texture.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture and whisk just until incorporated. Be careful not to over mix!
- Divide the mousse into serving dishes and place in bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until firm. ( I wasn't that patient so I ate it after only one hour. It had a sticky, caramel-like texture which I actually loved!)
Notes
Extra ingredients:
I absolutely love spicy chocolate! If you want to taste something different add a pinch of chili powder in the chocolate mousse. It will be amazing!
Also, you can get that spicy flavor by adding ground Sichuan pepper berries. Just a pinch or two are enough to get a unique aroma.
If you want something with a seasonal flavor you can add some cinnamon and a pinch of ground cloves. It will smell and taste like Christmas!
