Best 3 Lovely Fluffy Chocolate Mousse Scroll Recipes

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Break the chocolate into small pieces directly into the bowl. Microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring between each bout of heat, until the chocolate is about 75% melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the chocolate completely. (Alternatively, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1 inch of barely simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.) Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form (the peaks should be just starting to hold, and will melt back into themselves after a second). Gradually beat in ¼ cup of the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand straight up when the beaters are lifted from the mixture). Using a large rubber spatula, fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture until uniform. Set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds medium peaks (when you lift the beaters or whisk out of the bowl, the peaks will slightly droop down, but they won't lose their shape entirely). Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Be sure it is fully incorporated but don't mix any more than necessary. Divide the mousse between 6 individual glasses, cover, and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
• Up to a few hours before serving, whip the cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the sugar and whip to medium peaks. Dollop the whipped cream over the mousse and top with chocolate shavings.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: Mousse can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover with plastic wrap and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Add whipped cream topping and chocolate shavings up to a few hours before serving.
• Note: Chocolate mousse is made with raw eggs. If that is a concern, try to find pasteurized eggs. Pasteurized eggs have been briefly exposed to heat to destroy any potential bacteria. Whole Foods usually carries them but call your local store to be sure before making a special trip. (Note: eating raw eggs is not advisable for pregnant women, babies, the elderly, or anyone with a compromised immune system.)

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH COCOA POWDER

Steps:

• Combine cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a large chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer with chilled beaters until stiff peaks form; set aside.
• Beat whipped cream cheese in a separate bowl until soft. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar gradually and beat until well combined. Mix in almond extract and beat until well incorporated. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate whipped cream until both are completely blended.
• Spoon or pipe mousse into small serving dishes. Top with grated chocolate.

Steps:

• Sponge:
• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Crack the eggs into a nice big bowl and beat them until nice and fluffy and pale. Slowly add in the caster sugar while still beating until thick and shiny. Add the vanilla now.
• Into the same bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cocoa and melted butter. Gently fold this into the egg mixture, taking care not to knocked out all that air.
• Pour the mixture into a greased and lined baking tray, approximately 18cmx28cm.
• Bake for around 8-10 minutes. The sponge should be just pulling away from the edges.
• Cool before flipping out onto baking paper, or put onto a cooling rack presentation side up.
• Moose:.
• Heat up 3/4 cup of the cream until it is just about to boil. Pour this over the chocolate and butter and mix till it's all combined and glossy. Set aside and wait till it's cool.
• Set aside 1/2 cup of the chocolate mixture to make little chocolate easter eggs to pop on top, and another 1/4 cup for a sauce to drizzle on top when finished.
• Once the mixture is cooled, whip up the left over 3/4 cup of cream and fold in the chocolate. Now, the recipe said to then 'whisk until firm', but I almost turned mine to butter. I would say just fold it in and leave it at that.
• Generously spread the moose over your lovely sponge and roll it up firmly. But not too firmly, just until the ends over lap. You can now chill it until you are ready to serve.
• To decorate, drizzle your reserved chocolate over the top, make some eggs by rolling up the cold chocolate and dusting with cocoa powder and make some chocolate leaves - Either paint some clean glossy leaves with melted chocolate or simply cut some basic shapes from grease proof paper and dip one side in the chocolate. Chill before using.
• Enjoy :).
