WHITE CHOCOLATE MINT MOUSSE



White Chocolate Mint Mousse image

I am not normally much of a white chocolate person, but the peppermint seems to eradicate its lethal richness. Nevertheless, my nephew did say of it, when I let him have some for a birthday treat, that it was like being able to eat the icing without having the cake. He wasn't speaking figuratively. And because it is rich and sweet, I serve it in uncharacteristically small portions. As they say in showbiz, always good to leave 'em wanting more.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 ounces white chocolate, broken into small pieces
1 cup heavy cream
*1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (I use Boyajiain natural peppermint flavour)
6 fresh mint leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Put the pieces of white chocolate in a bowl, and sit this bowl over a pan over simmering water until it melts, stirring gently with a spatula every now and then. When it's melted, stand the bowl on a cold surface to cool down a little.
  • In another bowl, and using an electric handheld whisk for ease, whip the cream, egg white and extract together. You want soft peaking rather than a stiff mixture.
  • Put a big dollop of cream onto the slightly cooled chocolate and mix, and then gently fold the chocolate mixture into the cream.
  • Divide mixture between 6 small but perfectly formed glasses with a capacity of 60ml/ 1/4-cup each.
  • Chill in the fridge or give them a fast icy zap but sitting them in the deep freeze for 10 or 15 minutes. Decorate top with a mint leaf before serving.

Richer than pudding, try this in dessert cups sprinkled with cocoa powder...OR as a pie in chocolate cookie crust! Cooking time is also chilling time.

WHITE-CHOCOLATE-MINT MOUSSE



White-Chocolate-Mint Mousse image

A very simple, very delicious mousse. I serve it in individual goblets, garnished with fresh mint, or, if there's time, mint leaves brushed with egg white and coated with confectioner's sugar and frozen. Or, even fancier, paint mint leaves with melted dark chocolate, chill, then peel off the mint leaves--you have delicate dark chocolate leaves for garnish.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream (divided use, NOT ultra pasteurized)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
10 ounces white chocolate, chopped I use Lindt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon mint extract (the organic kind)
white chocolate, shavings for topping
fresh mint leaves (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Have ready a serving bowl with at least a 6-cup capacity.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, place 1/2 cup of the cream and the butter and heat until the mixture is hot and the butter melts. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Add the white chocolate and let it soften in the hot cream mixture for about 30 seconds. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and all of the white chocolate melts.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool to the touch but still pourable, about 30 minutes.
  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, mix the remaining 2 cups of cold cream, vanilla, mint extract and the cooled white-chocolate mixture on low speed to blend the ingredients.
  • Increase the speed to medium high and beat until firm peaks form, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer the mousse to a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. When ready to serve, either leave in the serving bowl or spoon into individual serving bowls/goblets, garnish with the white-chocolate shavings and mint leaves and serve cold.

CHOCOLATE MINT MOUSSE



Chocolate Mint Mousse image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/3 cups chilled heavy cream
5 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao if marked), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1/2 cup coarsely crushed peppermint hard candies (2 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat 1/3 cup cream in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat until hot, then whisk in chocolate with a pinch of salt until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat remaining cup cream with extract in another bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until it just holds soft peaks. Add cooled chocolate mixture and beat until mousse just holds stiff peaks. Fold in 1/4 cup candy and spoon into 4 stemmed glasses, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup candy. Chill until cold, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you only have dried mint leaves, use half the amount.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and hold its shape better.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. If you overbeat it, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to dollop the mousse into individual serving dishes.
  • Garnish the mousse with fresh mint leaves or grated chocolate before serving.

Conclusion:

This mint mousse is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The mousse is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
