Steps:
- In the top of a double boiler, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate & the strong coffee, then set it over simmering water, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted. Remove from heat & let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile with an electric mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar & continue to beat until egg whites hold a stiff peak.
- In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream into soft peaks.
- Use a spatula to fold the whipped EGG WHITES into the chocolate, & then carefully fold in the whipping cream & the rum.
- Spoon the chocolate mousse into 4 glasses & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours, so that the mousse has time to firm up.
- Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the mousse. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to chop the chocolate.
- Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff. Beat them until they are stiff but still glossy.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Do not stir or mix them too vigorously, as this will deflate the egg whites.
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
Conclusion:
This mousse au chocolat is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it rich and dark or light and airy, this mousse is sure to please.
