    Chocolate Mousse Mould


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    Five egg yolks
    One-half cup sugar
    One cup milk
    Three squares (three ounces) semi-sweet chocolate
    One square unsweetened chocolate
    One envelope (.25 ounce) unflavored gelatin
    One tablespoon cold water
    One cup heavy cream
    One cup heavy cream for garnish

    Recipe



    Place mould in refrigerator to chill. Using a double boiler, melt and combine all chocolates. In separate pot heat milk until it starts to scald but does not boil. Pour milk into blended chocolate and beat with whisk or electric mixer until chocolate is fully blended. In a small bowl soften gelatin in cold water, then stir into chocolate mixture. In another bowl, combine yolks and sugar, beating until light and lemon colored. Add yolk mixture to chocolate and blend thoroughly. Refrigerate to chill. After mixture has completely cooled, fold in unwhipped cream. Pour into chilled mould and refrigerate until mousse is set.

    Meanwhile, in a chilled bowl, beat one cup of cream until it stands in soft peaks, but is not stiff. When ready to serve mousse, turn over mould on serving plate and cover or decorate with dollops of whipped cream.

    Variation: If you like a really intense chocolate flavor, substitute one or more squares of unsweetened chocolate for the sweetened.

    Yield: Eight servings
