Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk continuously for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture slightly thickens and becomes pale. Be careful not to scramble the eggs.
Remove the egg mixture from heat and stir in the melted chocolate. Mix until fully incorporated.
Stir in the Kahlua until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Set aside to cool.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse. Mix until smooth and uniform.
Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours to set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
