Chocolate Mousse for Beginners
This chocolate mousse for beginners is the all-time easiest method, perfect for beginners, but even experts may want to pay attention, because this technique produces the most delicious, most perfectly-textured mousse I've ever had.
Ingreadient
- 3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate (62% cacao is ideal)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tiny pinch salt
- 1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
Direction
- Break up or chop chocolate into small pieces and set aside with butter.
- Add egg yolks, sugar, water, and salt to a metal mixing bowl. Cook, whisking, directly over medium-low heat until the mixture is thick, foamy, and hot to the touch (145 to 150 degrees F (63 to 65 degrees C)).
