This decadent dessert is similar to pot de crème. Mousse au Chocolat is rich in flavor and has a silky smooth texture. Garnish with whipped cream and cookie curls. Ingredients:
3 (4-ounce) bars bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup strong coffee |
4 egg yolks |
1 cup whipping cream, divided |
2 tablespoons orange liqueur |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
garnishes: whipped cream, cookie curls |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts; remove from heat.
2. Beat egg yolks well, and stir in 1/4 cup whipping cream. Whisk about one-fourth of chocolate mixture into egg mixture; whisk back into remaining chocolate mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until a thermometer registers 160°. Remove from heat; stir in orange liqueur and vanilla. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
3. Beat remaining 3/4 cup whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold about one-fourth of whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture; fold in remaining whipped cream.
4. Spoon mousse into 8 goblets. Cover and chill thoroughly. Garnish, if desired.
