BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH FLEUR DE SEL



Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse With Fleur de Sel image

This is an intense, creamy one-ingredient chocolate mousse adapted from the molecular gastronomist Hervé This. The nearly instant recipe contains no cream or eggs, so a complex chocolate can shine. The mousse serves four, and it can be doubled. But even if you're serving two, don't be tempted to halve it. More of our favorite Valentine's Day recipes can be found here.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

285 grams bittersweet chocolate (about 10 ounces), roughly chopped, more as needed (see note)
Fleur de Sel, to taste

Steps:

  • Create an ice bath in a large bowl using ice and a little cold water. Nestle a smaller bowl in ice bath.
  • Place chocolate and 1 cup water in a small pot and heat over medium. Whisk until mixture is melted and smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Immediately pour melted chocolate into the bowl in the ice bath. Vigorously whisk chocolate mixture by hand until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. The chocolate should be fluffy and form a mound when dolloped with the whisk (it should generally have the texture and appearance of mousse). If the mixture does not thicken, add a bit more chopped chocolate and remelt over the heat. Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with fleur de sel.

BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE BROWNIES - MACRINA BAKERY



Bittersweet Chocolate Brownies - Macrina Bakery image

These brownies are dense, yet cloud-like-fudgy in the center and crunchy on the outside. Eggs make these brownies light and soufflé-like, chocolate makes them dense, and the minimal amount of flour (2 tablespoons) makes them fudgy.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 eggs

Steps:

  • Combine chocolate and butter in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in microwave oven on medium for 3 minutes. Stir well. Cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F Lightly oil an 8-by-9-inch or 9-inch-square baking pan.
  • Place sugar and flour in a mixer bowl and mix 30 seconds on low speed. Increase speed to medium and add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • With mixer on low speed, drizzle in the cooled, melted chocolate mixture. Increase speed to medium and mix about 1 minute or until the batter is mousse-like in texture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake on center rack of oven 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is just set. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will also result in dry brownies. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These bittersweet chocolate mousse brownies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're rich, decadent, and oh-so-chocolatey. Plus, they're relatively easy to make. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
