Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup coffee, brewed strong
4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon dark rum (optional)
2 ounces chocolate, shaved for garnish

Steps:

  • In the top of a double boiler, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate & the strong coffee, then set it over simmering water, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted. Remove from heat & let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile with an electric mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar & continue to beat until egg whites hold a stiff peak.
  • In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream into soft peaks.
  • Use a spatula to fold the whipped EGG WHITES into the chocolate, & then carefully fold in the whipping cream & the rum.
  • Spoon the chocolate mousse into 4 glasses & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours, so that the mousse has time to firm up.
  • Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will be. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the cream is cold: Cold cream will whip up better and create a lighter, fluffier mousse.
  • Whip the cream until it is stiff peaks: This will help to incorporate air into the mousse, making it light and fluffy.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: Over-mixing will cause the mousse to deflate.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.

Conclusion:

Belgian chocolate mousse is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it rich and decadent or light and fluffy, there is a Belgian chocolate mousse recipe out there for you.
