CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH CHOCOLATE LIQUEUR WHIPPED CREAM



Chocolate Mousse with Chocolate Liqueur Whipped Cream image

This mousse is light and slightly dense with bold semisweet flavors. I first fell in love with chocolate mousse when I was a small boy and my grandma would make it from scratch. I was able to master the technique once I arrived at the Ritz Carlton Hotel while in high school and started working with the world's best pastry chefs.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 large eggs
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
10 ounces 64 percent cacao chocolate, chopped
3 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons chocolate liqueur, such as Bailey's
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Separate the eggs whites from the yolks. Set the yolks aside, then put the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip on medium speed. Slowly add the granulated sugar to the egg whites in the mixer as they are whipping. Whip until soft peaks form.
  • Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove from the heat and stir occasionally to help cool; let cool 10 minutes. One by one, add the egg yolks to the chocolate-butter mixture until fully incorporated. (The mixture will stiffen slightly.) Mix the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in thirds, folding very gently so as to not mix the air out of the mousse.
  • Carefully and evenly divide the mixture among 4 rocks glasses. Set the glasses in the refrigerator until fully chilled, about 30 minutes.
  • For the chocolate liqueur whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream, liqueur and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Spoon a dollop of the whipped cream into each of the chilled mousse glasses. Garnish each with a small sprig of mint.

Suggested toppings: chia seeds, cocoa nibs, shredded coconut, chopped mango, chopped pineapple and pomegranate seeds
Coconut Whipped Cream, recipe follows, for garnish, optional
1 can coconut milk, refrigerated overnight until well chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar or sweetener of choice, to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend on medium until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender often. Increase the speed to high and blend about 30 seconds to lighten the mousse.
  • Spoon into 2 serving glasses or cups. If you have the time, chill in the refrigerator until cold, about an hour. If not, enjoy right away with the toppings of your choice and garnish with Coconut Whipped Cream if desired.
  • Remove the can of coconut milk from the refrigerator without shaking it. Open the can, scrape out the solidified coconut cream from the top and put it in a mixing bowl. (Save the liquid in the bottom of the can for a smoothie.) Whip the coconut cream with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar or other sweetener to taste. Whip again and serve.

AVOCADO MOUSSE

This avocado mousse is really easy to whip together and has so much rich, tangy, and zesty flavor. Super versatile, my favorite ways to use it are as a taco, burrito bowl, or fajita topping, or switch it up for a salad dressing (it's particularly good in a Cobb salad), a dip for a crudite platter, or spread on a sandwich or burger.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE



Mexican Chocolate Mousse image

I am a fan of chocolate mousse and especially like the kind made in Mexican restaurants. I created this recipe because I wanted a mousse that didn't contain eggs or alcohol. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 piece mexican chocolate, 1 tablet (I use Nestle ABUELITA Instant Beverage mix in Tablet form.)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup instant chocolate pudding mix
1 pint whipping cream

Steps:

  • 1) In a small pot, melt 1 tablet of Mexican chocolate in the milk on medium heat. Stir frequently until tablet is dissolved and mixture is free of large clumps. Add salt. Mixture may appear grainy. Take off heat and set aside to cool.
  • 2) In a large bowl, stir cocoa powder and nstant pudding mix. Slowly add whipping cream to dry mix. Beat on high until mixture thickens. Add chocolate/milk/salt mixture and beat on high until fluffy. Chocolate mixture may be warm when added.
  • 3) Fill cups and chill 2-3 hours. I find the mousse tastes even better after at least 6 hours in the fridge. Can be topped with whip cream or cool whip.

Tips:

  • To achieve the smoothest mousse, ensure the avocados are perfectly ripe and chilled before blending.
  • Use high-quality Mexican chocolate for an authentic and rich flavor. If you can't find Mexican chocolate, you can substitute semisweet chocolate, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Mezcal adds a unique smoky flavor to the whipped cream. If you don't have mezcal, you can use tequila or rum instead.
  • For a vegan version of this mousse, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.

Conclusion:

This Mexican Chocolate Avocado Mousse with Mezcal Whipped Cream is a unique and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, creamy, and has a complex flavor that will impress your guests. The mousse is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. Serve it with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly special treat. .
