No-Cream Chocolate Mousse
No-Cream Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips sweet
- 5 tablespoons robust coffee or espresso, boiling hot
- 5 eggs separated
Instructions
- Whisk the egg whites until at stiff peaks and set aside
- Put the chocolate coins in a food processor and pulverize
- Slowly add the hot coffee and process until melted and blended
- Add the egg yolks one at a time and blend thoroughly
- Run this mixture through a strainer to sift out any shells and egg chalazae (What my wife calls the ‘umbilical cords’)
- Add one third of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and fold gently
- Add another third and do the same
- Add the final third, ensuring that all of the egg whites are mixed in well and the finished product is uniform
- Chill until set and serve with berries, whipped cream, creme Anglaise, chocolate sauce or sides of your choice
