Chocolate Mousse

I enjoyed making this dessert with my daughter 🙂

There are a lot of reasons to make this : you love chocolate, you have no time, you have a big family.

This is also a good one to do with the kids. This Chocolate Mousse is easy to prepare, you can make it in advance. It’s a great dessert, silky and smooth.

Do not serve more than 3  tablespoons by person!

Don’t let the kids eat too much!

A Taste of Charleston South Carolina Restaurant recipes inspired me for this recipe. This great cookbook gathered a lot of recipes from Charleston’s restaurants.

I broke up just one bar of chocolate and melted in one cup of heavy cream. Do not hesitate to use good chocolate, if you want the best flavor.

I used the freshest eggs when I make anything that uses uncooked eggs!

8-12 servings

Ingredients :

• 1/4 lb. (4 oz) (113 g) dark chocolate
• 4 big egg yolks
• 1 quart (946 ml)  (4 cups) heavy cream, whipped to a soft peak
• 1 cup (236 ml) heavy cream
• 4 oz (115 g) sugar

Directions :

1. Melt one cup heavy cream with dark chocolate over a double boiler. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
2. Whip 3 1/3 cups heavy cream, then place in the refrigerator.
3. Whip egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick, approximatively 2-3 minutes.
4. Fold egg mixture into the chocolate, and then fold in the whipped cream.

 Bon Appetit!
