Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 400 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 150 grams raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- for garnish (optional) extra raspberries
- for garnish (optional) dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Heat 200 ml of the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then whisk until smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 200 ml of heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in three additions, making sure not to deflate the mixture. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Let it cool completely.
To assemble, spoon a layer of chocolate mousse into serving glasses, followed by a thin layer of raspberry sauce. Alternate layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a mousse layer.
Chill the assembled mousses in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
