You must try this no bake French Chocolate Mousse Recipe , nothing is like French dessert recipe. I bet you this is going to be best chocolate mousse recipe you’ve ever made .
Ingredients:
200 g. of Organic Dark Chocolate 72%
100 g. of Alpine Swiss Milk Chocolate
3 egg whites, room temperature
3 egg yolks, room temperature
½ cup of white sugar
1/3 cup of butter, salted
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
First of all, we need to set our “Bain Marie” to melt the chocolate. Add about 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan, over low heat, and place a heat-proof bowl on top of the pan; the steam will help us to melt the chocolate without burning it. This technique is called “Bain Marie”, also known as double boiler.
Add the Organic Dark Chocolate into the bowl. Stir continuously using a spatula until half melted.
When half melted, add the butter and milk chocolate. Keep stirring until completely melted and combined. Set aside to cool down and use later. If you don’t want to use this method, you can also melt the chocolate and butter using a microwave but make sure you heat the ingredients just for ten seconds, stir, and keep doing this process until completely melted. The chocolate is really easy to burn if you try to melt it fast, doing the Bain Marie method will guarantee you that the chocolate will melt without the risk of burning because it won’t be in direct contact with the heat source.
In a large bowl, add in the egg whites and pinch of salt. Don’t forget that the bowl can’t have traces of oil or the egg whites won’t grow.
Mix the egg whites using an electric mixer until you get firm peaks. Don’t overbeat.
Take the bowl with the melted chocolate, it should be a bit warm, and add in the sugar and egg yolks. Stir until well combined.
Add about two tbsp. of melted chocolate mixture into the egg whites and fold it in. Be gentle while doing this step because we want to maintain the light texture.
When combined, add half of the chocolate, fold it in and keep doing this until all the chocolate is folded into the egg whites.
Now, you can leave the mousse in the bowl to chill or you can also spoon it into individual cups to serve. This will depend on the presentation that you’d like to give it later.
Place the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to firm, I recommend to leave it overnight.
When ready, serve and enjoy!!!
