    Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into
    pieces
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
    1 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
    2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 Pinch salt

    To make the mousse, combine the chocolate
    and cream in a heatproof bowl and place over
    (but not touching) barely simmering water.
    Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted,
    smooth, and shiny. Remove from the heat.

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream
    cheese and mascarpone with an electric mixer
    at medium to medium-high speed until soft
    and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape
    down the sides of the bowl. On low speed,
    beat in the chocolate mixture.

    In another bowl, with clean beaters, whip
    the egg yolks until frothy. Add the sugar
    and salt and continue to beat on high speed
    until the mixture is pale yellow and forms a
    ribbon when the beaters are lifted.

    With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix
    together the yolks and cheese mixture until
    smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to
    assemble the tiramisù. You should have about
    2 cups mousse. (Served on its own, the
    mousse will serve 4. The mousse may be made
    ahead, covered, and refrigerated for up to 1
    day.)
