NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BARS



No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Bars image

Ethereal and ready to melt in your mouth, chocolate mousse bars are easy to make and even easier to eat. With so few ingredients, it's important to use a chocolate you would be perfectly happy to snack out of hand. The instant espresso powder is optional but adds depth to this simple dessert. To cut beautiful, neat slices, use a long sharp knife warmed in hot water and wiped clean before each cut.

Time 30m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

18 whole graham crackers (about 9 1/2 ounces/269 grams)
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound/454 grams semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 cups cold heavy cream, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Line a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. In a food processor, or in a resealable plastic bag, crush the graham crackers until you have fine crumbs (but stop before you have dust). You should have about 2 1/4 cups. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the butter, sugar and salt and stir until evenly moistened. Tip the crumbs into the prepared pan and press them down into an even layer on the bottom. Transfer to the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the filling: Set the chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup cream, espresso powder and salt until hot but not boiling. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it stand for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the remaining 2 cups heavy cream until you have stiff peaks. Add the chocolate mixture and gently fold to combine. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust, and spread it out into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 2 hours. To serve, cut the two edges without parchment free with a sharp knife then use the parchment overhang to transfer the bar to a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 oz dark chocolate
3 c heavy cream, divided into 1/4, 3/4, and 2 cups
4 large egg yolks (only)
2 Tbsp white sugar

  • 3. Warm 3/4 cup of heavy cream in heavy pan until bubbles just start to form around edges.

  • 5. Return mixture to medium heat and stir continuously until custard just thickens to a slight boil & a wooden spoon dragged through the custard leaves a trail that stays in place.
  • 6. Pour into the chocolate and whisk together until smooth. Let chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.

HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE



Heavenly Chocolate Mousse Pie image

Lisa's right, this sure is a heavenly chocolate mousse pie. It's very decadent. Smooth and creamy, we loved the easy to make mousse with the crunchy Oreo crust. Full of chocolate goodness, no one will believe how simple this pie is to prepare.

Provided by Lisa Lynn

Categories     Chocolate

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

OREO COOKIE CRUST
1 pkg Oreo's (cheap chocolate cookies work just as well)
1/2 stick melted butter, enough to hold crumbs together
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 tsp vanilla
1 c heavy cream
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
2 c heavy cream
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
GARNISH
shaved chocolate (Hershey bars taste the best)
additional whipped cream

Steps:

  • 1. Crush cookies (about 1/2 package for an 8-inch crust). Do more if you think it is not enough. Melt 1/2 stick of butter to hold the crust together. Add more butter if needed. For a pie shape you can use a pie tin, I use a spring form pan. Also is lovely with no crust and using champagne glasses or whatever fun shaped large or individual serving bowls/glasses you have.
  • 2. Melt cream, chocolate, and vanilla slowly in a double boiler. You can use a heat-proof bowl over a regular pot on the stove as well. Cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Beat two cups heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla, to stiff peaks.
  • 4. Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  • 5. Pour into the prepared crust (can also make this in individual serving bowls). Chill 6 hours until set. I make this a day ahead.
  • 6. Top with additional whipped cream. I like to do a full layer of the whipped cream on the entire top of the pie and then garnish it with shaved chocolate. You can top with whipped cream on each individual piece and Oreo's as well.
