hakunamatata Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I want to make a really nice chocolate mousse and have read all the posts about cream but I am still unsure which cream to use. If I go for the Marscapone and creme entiere mixwhat amounts do I use, or should I use something completely different? Help please, also any really good choc mousse receipes would be nice.

Clair Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't use cream in any way, shape or form when making chocolate mousse.Melt the choc, whisk the egg whites and sugar, mix whisked egg whites with melted choc and that's basically it![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Here's a recipe an video: Raymond Blanc's chocolate mousse recipeSome recipes (Delia's) mix the egg yolks to the melted chocolate, but I usually have frozen egg whites left-over from custard making...A pinch of salt will help when whisking the egg whites.If you want a boozy mousse, add a few drops of Amaretto, Cointreau or Rhum to the chocolate before melting.For an unusual twist, you could add ¼ tsp of chilli powder or Piment d'Espelette to the chocolate before melting.

TWINKLE Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 No sugar, no cream just good 70% cacao black chocolate and eggs. Add the eggs while the chocolate is still hot and you'll get nuggets of chocolate in your mousse that everyone will want to know how you did it!

TWINKLE Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok!200g of black choc.6 eggsPinch of saltMelt chocolate à la bain-marie.Seperate egg whites - put the yolks in a large mixing bowl.Whisk the egg whites and salt into fluffy stiff snow (?)Add the chocolate to the egg yolks as soon as it's all melted (this will make little pepettes of chocolate form) then take a quarter of this mixture and fold it into the snow with a spatular taking care not to break the fluffy white stuff (keep it nice and airy). Add the rest then pour either into 6 individual coupes or one big one just for you!Place in the refridgerator for 2-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Made the Raymond Blanc chocolate mousse last night - very simple to make (and I never ever make puds), and very yummy. Husband said it was very nice but a bit too much - I didn't have a problem with the quantity! Also the Raymond blanc recipe doesn't use the egg yolks so I'm guessing its less calories - a bonus.

le rouge Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Cheat and use the ALSA mix and refrigerate it. You will never do it another way. A lot of caterers use it believe me as that is where I got it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
