Recipe Introduction
For a simple garnish, shave chocolate from the side of a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.
List of Ingredients
Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream
Recipe
Finely chop chocolate; reserve.
In a double boiler, whisk yolks, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
Off heat, quickly whisk in chopped chocolate until melted and cocoa until smooth (mixture will be thick).
Cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form.
Whisk half of whipped cream into room-temperature chocolate mixture.
Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
Divide mousse among four serving dishes.
Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
Remove mousse from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving.
Garnish with shaved chocolate.
Note: To store mousse, place a paper towel under the plastic wrap (without touching mousse) before sealing for refrigeration. The paper towel will absorb the drops of condensation that might otherwise drip onto the surface.
Servings: 4
