Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 3 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Add the unsalted butter to the chocolate and melt them together over a simmering water bath (double boiler). Stir frequently until smooth and remove from heat to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
In a separate clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in thirds, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Divide the mousse into four serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops with a spoon.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve the Chocolate Rum Mousse chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
