Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 3 large egg whites
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 200 grams fresh raspberries
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 grams dark chocolate (for garnish, optional)
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Reserve 100 ml of the whipped cream for garnishing, and refrigerate it until ready to use.
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy. Gradually add caster sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Once the melted chocolate has cooled but is still pourable, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
Gradually fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Use gentle folding motions to maintain the mousse's airy texture.
Divide the chocolate mousse evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
While the mousse sets, prepare the raspberry puree. Blend the fresh raspberries and powdered sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth.
For a silky texture, strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the mousse is fully set, spoon a layer of raspberry puree over each serving. Garnish with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream, a few fresh raspberries, and optionally some grated dark chocolate or mint leaves.
Serve chilled and enjoy the decadent combination of chocolate and raspberry flavors.
