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
Recipe
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 tiramis�. 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.)
