Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream, well chilled
10 to 12 oz bittersweet baking chocolate (60% to 70% cacao), broken into small pieces

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat whipping cream at medium speed just until stiff peaks form.
  • In double boiler or in bowl set over saucepan, melt chocolate over simmering water. Pour melted chocolate into whipped cream; fold chocolate into cream (do not overmix; mixture can have a few streaks). Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a rich and flavorful mousse. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and easily.
  • Don't over-whip the cream. Over-whipped cream will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Over-mixing will deflate the mousse and make it less fluffy.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
  • Garnish the mousse with chocolate shavings, orange zest, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Conclusion:

Chocolate orange mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and refreshing orange notes, this mousse is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate orange mousse a try.
