Chocolate
Mousse
Chocolate
mousse desserts are delicious and if you want to know how
to make the best chocolate mousse you've come to the right
place. This easy chocolate mousse recipe is from Martha
Stewart, and as always, Martha is spot on with a great
chocolate dessert. Mousse de chocolate makes a great chocolate
holiday dessert on its own, but is also used as a chocolate
cake chocolate mousse filling recipe for the Buche
de Noel (French Yule Log Cake) The flavor
of the chocolate used really matters in this kind of
recipe so be sure to use a high quality bittersweet
or semisweet chocolate.
1. In
a double boiler, melt together chocolate and butter, stirring
occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat, and transfer to
a large bowl. Whisk in egg yolks, stirring well. Let cool to
room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of
tartar until stiff. Whisk a third of the whites into chocolate
mixture; gently fold in remainder of the egg whites.
3. Whip cream until it holds soft peaks, and fold
into chocolate mixture. Chill until set, about 1 hour.
Note: Raw eggs should not be used in food prepared for pregnant
women, young children, or anyone else whose health is compromised.
