CHOCOLATE AND OLIVE OIL MOUSSE
Olive oil makes this bittersweet chocolate mousse kosher for a meat meal. Joan Nathan brought the recipe to The Times in 2007. "This is a contemporary dessert from Tangiers, a city with a blend of cultures," the cookbook author Ana Benarroch de Bensadón said. "Originally this recipe included butter and cream, but we replaced it with olive oil, making it 'parve' or neutral."

Tips:
- For a smoother mousse, use a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the chocolate and butter are finely chopped before melting them together. This will help them to melt evenly and smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the mousse tough.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Chocolate and olive oil mousse is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its rich chocolate flavor and smooth, creamy texture, this mousse is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
