Equipment
- 1 Stand mixer with whisk attachment or hand-held mixer
- 1 Mixing bowl Microwave-safe
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or media crema (Nestle)
- 8 ounces chocolate good quality dark chocolate 60%, or a blend dark and milk chocolate
- 3 egg whites pasteurized or not
- 6 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate
- Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave for 1 ½ minutes until steaming but not boiling.
- Pour it over the finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Let it stand for one minute and stir until smooth.
Whip the Egg Whites
- Place the pasteurized egg whites in a clean mixing bowl.
- Beat at a medium speed until foamy, then increase to high speed. Gradually add six tablespoons of sugar. After 2-3 minutes, check the texture.
Fold the Mousse
- Stir in the whipped cream to lighten the cooled chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula to fold from the bottom of the bowl up and over the center.
Notes
The egg whites will move from soft peaks to medium peaks, then stiff peaks. Stop when the peaks stand upright and look glossy; overmixing can make them dry and difficult to fold.
Use broad, gentle strokes and stop as soon as the mousse mixture is uniform. Vigorous stirring will push out the air that gives traditional mousse its lift.
You can use natural egg whites or pasteurized egg whites.
