Time 3h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large eggs, separated*
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur
4 teaspoons Chili Oil, recipe follows
7 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
Spicy Whipped Cream, recipe follows
2 cups olive oil
4 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Cocoa powder
Ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of sugar, butter, 1/4 cup of water, coffee liqueur, and chili oil in a large metal bowl to blend. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water); whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and frothy, about 3 minutes. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in another large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, beating until stiff and glossy peaks form. Remove the chocolate from over the water. Fold 1/3 of the meringue into the warm chocolate mixture to lighten, then fold in the remaining meringue.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Spoon the mousse into 6-ounce bowls. Top with spicy whipped cream and serve.
  • Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.
  • With an electric mixer, whip cream gradually adding the sugar until soft peaks form. Top with a dusting of cocoa powder and a pinch of cayenne. Serve immediately.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest mousse, make sure all of your ingredients are cold before you start.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Be careful not to over-whip the cream. If you whip it too much, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, so that it doesn't scorch.
  • If you want to make the mousse ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Hot cocoa mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
