Chocolate Mousse Rounds Recipes

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 3/4 cup heavy cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until mixture coats back of spoon, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat; whisk in melted chocolate and vanilla. Strain into a bowl; chill until cool.
• With an electric mixer, beat remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form. Stir 1/3 of whipped cream into cooled custard mixture, then gently fold in the rest with a rubber spatula.
• Spoon into serving dishes; chill, covered, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1-inch of barely simmering water (or use a double boiler). Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool slightly. Then grab a whisk and beat the egg yolks into the chocolate, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds soft peaks.
• Now that you've got the elements prepared, put it all together. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the whipped cream. Take care not over work the mousse or it will be heavy. Divide the mousse between 4 individual glasses, preferably Moroccan glasses. Cover and chill for several hours. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE (HEALTHY)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 345° F (175° C) and prepare a cast iron skillet or round baking dish.
• To create the batter, start by placing the dates, almond butter and vanilla extract into a food processor jar and pulse to obtain a puree.
• Next, add the chickpeas, almond flour, oat flour, baking powder and a sprinkle of salt if you like. Process again to obtain a thick, smooth and creamy batter. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
• Fold in the chocolate chunks using a spoon, then make a quick taste test to see whether any adjustments are necessary.
• Add the cookie crust mixture into the prepared skillet and evenly flatten it with the back of a spoon or wetted fingers.
• Put the skillet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the center is cooked through. You can check it by inserting a toothpick - if it comes out clean, the cookie cake is done.
• Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Drain your soaked and pitted dates well, then place them into a food processor and pulse to obtain a puree.
• Add the silken tofu and melted dark chocolate, then process again until a creamy batter forms.
• Pour your chickpea liquid or aquafaba into a medium-sized bowl and whip with a hand mixer to obtain a frothy mixture. This may take a few minutes, so don't worry!
• Slowly add your chocolate, date and tofu mixture from the food processor into the fluffy aquafaba and gently whisk to incorporate until you have a homogeneous chocolate mousse.
• Once the chickpea crust has cooled completely, pour the chocolate mousse on top of it. Using the back of a spoon, create an even layer on top of your crust.
• Decorate your cake with blackberries, grated chocolate, crushed pistachios and some coarse salt.
• Refrigerate your chocolate mousse cake for 1 hour before cutting it into slices and serving it.
