Best Ever Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 6 eggs (separate yolks and whites, set aside one of the yolks)
- 8 ounces/250 grams of good quality bittersweet chocolate (parve)
- 1 ounce/25 grams margarine
- 1 teaspoon coffee (dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Separate five yolks and six whites into two bowls and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and margarine together in a bain marie (water bath). Whisk briskly.
- Tip: Remove chocolate mixture from heat when it is halfway melted. Keep whisking. The chocolate will continue to melt, but will achieve a tempered state. Tempering chocolate is easy and will result in a chocolate that maintains its color, shine without white streaks once it is served at room temperature. More than that, it will keep its consistency and not melt!
- Add dissolved coffee, and keep whisking briskly.
- Once the chocolate is completely melted, add the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
- Add one egg yolk at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition.
- Whip egg whites until you have soft peaks.
- Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture until incorporated.
- Pour in your container of choice and let set in the refrigerator at least one hour.
