I was shown this recipe in Jr. High French Class. The teacher thought it would be fun and educational to learn a recipe from France and she was right. It's a wonderful dessert that incorporates Orange Juice and Coffee into the mixture. Check it out.... Ingredients:
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons instant espresso (brewed) |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
2 eggs |
2 egg yolks (keep egg whites) |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Chill all mixing bowls and utensils before making the mousse to help it set up.
2. Place semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, espresso, and orange juice in a double broiler and melt on low heat; stirring constantly until melted. Set chocolate mixture in fridge to cool.
3. Blend eggs and egg yolks with sugar at medium speed for approx 2 minutes or until thickened. Add to chocolate mixture.
4. Whip together whipping cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture and blend for 2-3 minutes. Return to fridge.
5. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
6. Pour chocolate mixture into a chilled large bowl and fold in beaten egg whites. Chill for 3-4 hours before serving.
