Steps:
- In a cold non-reactive bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Set aside.
- Fill a saucepan about a third of the way with water, then bring to a simmer.
- Chop the chocolate with a cook's knife. Put the chocolate in a medium-large heatproof bowl, and place over the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. Set the chocolate aside. Keep the pot of water hot, but not boiling.
- In a small bowl, stir the espresso powder into the rum or water, to dissolve.
- Put the egg, yolks, and pinch of salt in heatproof bowl. With a hand-held electric mixer whip the eggs until light, about 1 minute. Slowly add the sugar to the eggs, while continuing to beat. Add the rum mixture.
- Set the bowl of eggs over the simmering water, increase the heat to bring the water to a rapid simmer. Whisk the egg mixture constantly over the heat, until pale yellow, very fluffy, and hot to the touch, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whip until cool and thick, and the mixture folds over on itself or "holds a ribbon".
- Whisk about a quarter of the egg foam into the chocolate to lighten. With the whisk, briskly fold in the remaining foam, (the mixture may get very thick). Whisk in the whipped cream, taking care to keep the mixture light. Pour the chocolate mixture into 4 serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and easily.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the mousse too stiff.
- Fold the whipped cream and egg whites into the chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
Conclusion:
This silky chocolate mousse is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
