Yield 6 servings

4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
8 chocolate covered almonds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high heat speed until thick and bright yellow.
  • Heat 1 cup cream in a medium saucepan until just at a simmer, then slowly whisk about half of the hot cream into the yolk-sugar mixture to temper it. Slowly add the remaining hot cream, then transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes (do not boil).
  • Add the semisweet chocolate to a bowl and slowly pour the egg-sugar-cream mixture over it. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted, then add the vanilla and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
  • Beat the the confectioners' sugar with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it just holds stiff peaks. Reserve 1/2 cup for garnish. Gently but thoroughly fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Spoon the mousse into a piping bag, then pipe the mousse into 6 teacups. Dollop the reserved whipped cream on top and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate covered almonds and serve.

Easy Chocolate Mousse without Eggs image

My husband and I honeymooned in Paris two years ago. We were on our way to see the Eiffel Tower when it began to rain. Quickly, we hurried into the first cafe we came across. We ordered chocolate mousse for dessert. To say that it was divine would be an understatement. I knew I wanted to recreate that dessert for my husband when we got home. Serve in wine glasses for a nice touch.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate will directly impact the taste of the mousse. Opt for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich, intense flavor.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: Over-whipping the cream will cause it to become grainy, so be careful not to overbeat it. Once the cream has reached stiff peaks, it should hold its shape when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Over-mixing will cause the mousse to lose its airiness.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse allows it to set and develop its full flavor. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Conclusion:

This simple chocolate mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a light and airy mousse that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Experiment with different flavors by adding extracts or spices, or top the mousse with fresh berries or chopped nuts for a special touch.
