Decadent Chocolate Mousse
As Seen on YouTube Wyse Guide
Ingredients
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 4 oz dark chocolate
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into smaller pieces. Place in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until melted. Once melted and smooth, set aside.
- In a 4-quart heavy-bottom kettle, whisk together the egg yolks, ¾ cup heavy cream, three tablespoons sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine and set over medium-low heat. Continue to whisk over the heat until the sugar has melted and the mixture registers 160°F. Remove from the heat.
- Strain the mousse base through a sieve to remove any lumps or cooked egg.
- Stir in vanilla extract and fold the mousse base with the melted chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Using a mixer, whip the remaining 2 cups heavy cream with two tablespoons sugar to stiff peaks, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk in about ⅓ of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Once combined, slowly fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks of cream are evident.
- To serve, spoon or pipe into individual serving dishes. This dessert can also be poured into one large dish.
- Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours or up to 48 hours. Once chilled, serve with a dollop of whipped cream!
