Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons wattleseed (ground)
- 3 units large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl along with the unsalted butter. Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
2. Add the ground wattleseed to the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar until pale and creamy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the yolks, stirring continuously to combine.
4. In a clean mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1 tablespoon of caster sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
6. Divide the mousse evenly among 6 serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
7. To make the wattleseed cream, whip the heavy cream, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and remaining wattleseed in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
8. Before serving, top each mousse with a dollop of wattleseed cream and garnish as desired (e.g., grated chocolate or a sprinkle of wattleseed).
