Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces high-quality 72% cacao bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, or chocolate chips
8 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water
Grated zest of 1 small orange (optional)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in a microwave, stirring after each 10-second increment, until smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • 2. Place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until pale yellow. Whisk in the olive oil, coffee, zest, if using, and salt until combined. Add the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth.
  • 3. Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining ¼ cup sugar and beat just until stiff peaks form. Add a generous spoonful of the egg white mixture to the chocolate mixture. Stir firmly until completely incorporated. Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of egg whites. Gently fold with a large spoon or rubber spatula until completely combined.
  • 4. Divide the mousse into six 6-ounce ramekins and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

This mousse is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using a lighter chocolate next time.

I'm not a big fan of olive oil, but I really enjoyed this mousse. The olive oil flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the chocolate.

I've never tried a mousse with olive oil before, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. The mousse was smooth and creamy, and the olive oil added a nice depth of flavor.
