Time 30m

Yield 4 small ramekins, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate bars, chopped or broken in small pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup water, divided (2 tbsp for chocolate, 2 tbsp for egg mixture)
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
very tiny pinch salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (as cold as possible)

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate, butter and 2tbsp water in a double-boiler. (I actually did this in a metal bowl over lightly simmering pan of water). Make sure the water isn't boiling hard - chocolate melts remarkably quickly and you don't want to rush this process or you'll lose the shiny texture. While melting it, continuously stir the chocolate.
  • Again, in a double-boiler, whisk the egg yolks and sugar. The eggs should get cooked just a tad. 2-3 minutes, maybe. Again, don't let the water get too hot. Make sure you don't scramble the eggs.
  • Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and allow to cool slightly below room temperature (You can achieve this by setting it on top of a bowl of ice for a few minutes).
  • Whip the heavy cream so that you get soft peaks. Basically, you want the peaks to stay, but not too sharply (otherwise the texture isn't as "sexy").
  • Add ground chipotle and salt to the chocolate/egg mixture and fold in the whipped cream.
  • Fill into ramekins or similar container.
  • Chill overnight or at least 3-4 hours.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mousse turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This mousse is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The chocolate flavor is good, but the chili pepper is a bit overpowering.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but this mousse was surprisingly good. The chili pepper added a nice touch of heat that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.

This mousse was a hit at my dinner party! It was light and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor that was perfectly complemented by the hint of chili. I would definitely make this again.
