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."

Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

11 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60 percent cacao)
8 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher for passover brandy or 2 tablespoons coffee

Steps:

  • In a double boiler, melt chocolate over low heat. Cool slightly. Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until light. Whisk in olive oil, brandy and melted chocolate.
  • Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, whisking until stiff but not dry.
  • Fold whites into chocolate mixture so that no white streaks remain. Spoon into an 8- or 10-cup serving bowl or divide among 8 or 10 dessert cups or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure that your mousse is rich and flavorful.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. If you do, it will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the mousse once you have added the whipped cream. Otherwise, it will become too dense and lose its airy texture.
  • If you are using an immersion blender to make the mousse, be sure to blend it until it is completely smooth. Any lumps will make the mousse grainy.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the mousse with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mousse is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, decadent, and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.
