Description
One of our most beautiful family recipes, my mom's chocolate mousse.
Ingredients
- 100 gr soft butter
- 80 gr powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 150 gr Dark Chocolate (I use nestlé dessert 52%)
Instructions
-
Make sure you have taken out the butter so that it is soft.
-
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
-
Melt the chocolate (150gr, broken into pieces) in a bain-marie (if you don't know how to do it, you can melt it directly in a saucepan).
-
When the chocolate becomes very soft (the fact that you can no longer see the shape of the chocolate squares is a good sign), mix in the butter (100gr) cut into hazelnuts (small pieces). Remove the saucepan from the heat to allow the butter to melt a little, but not completely. Stir a little.
-
Still off the heat, add half the powdered sugar (40g) and the egg yolks, mixing until smooth.
-
Whip the egg whites until stiff. Halfway through, add the remaining powdered sugar (40g) and continue beating until the egg whites are extremely stiff.
-
Gently pour the warm chocolate over the egg whites and mix together, taking care not to let the whites fall too much. This step can be done in several stages to make it easier.
-
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4 hours (ideally 12).
-
Enjoy!
