Chocolate mousse is one of those classic recipes, that is, proven and approved all over the world.
Very easy to do and with an added advantage: it can also be prepared the day before.
Soft and mouth-watering, this chocolate mousse recipe requires just a few moves and needs few ingredients. The only requirement: that they are fresh and of high quality.
Very fresh egg white whipped until stiff, butter worked with sugar, egg yolks and grated orange peel, quality chocolate. Nothing else is needed.
I chose to serve the mousse in small gold-colored cocottes, to highlight the voluptuous color of the dessert, decorating at the end with freeze-dried wild strawberries and crystallized and chopped rose petals.
Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
- 100 g of dark chocolate cut into small pieces
- 2 soup spoons of sugar
- 3 eggs (separate the yolks from the whites and set aside)
- 1 tablespoon lightly salted butter
- Grated orange zest (preferably organic oranges)
- freeze-dried wild strawberries and crystallized rose petals (optional)
PREPARATION:
Prepare a saucepan with a bain marie and bring to the boil. Turn off the flame when the water starts to boil and place a glass baking dish with the chocolate cut into small pieces. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
Work the butter with the sugar and the grated orange zest until the butter becomes light and frothy.
Add the chocolate previously melted in a bain marie to this mixture obtained with butter and sugar, working well until it becomes well homogeneous. Add the yolks one by one, beating vigorously.
Whip the egg white until stiff adding the mixture of chocolate, butter and sugar, mixing gently from bottom to top to prevent it from "disassembling".
The mousse obtained should be left in the refrigerator at least 4 hours before serving.
For the dark chocolate mousse I used the 64% dark chocolate bar: You can find it here.
