Chocolate Mousse



After dinner on Saturday night, I'd imaging completing the meal with a chilled pot of chocolate mousse. Something gooey, indulging... But I didn't have any such dessert in the fridge. Humph... And since MFG said he would share the mousse with me, since he would love to try (hmm... but you've tried it before), I made some. A very small portion.





Made the mousse with bitter dark chocolate. The original recipe said semi-sweet. Hmm... Actually, it can do with a sweeter chocolate, but I only have this 75% chocolate, if not then would be milk chocolate. One thing about making chocolate dessert, especially those with chocolate as the only main ingredient, you need to use good quality chocolate. Then again, not the extreme expensive ones lah, no budget.


What gives the light texture is the beaten egg white.


Recipe makes 4, so 2 each for us. Original recipe called for sherry. The last time I made this with a very sweet port and it was really delicious, since I love sweet stuff. This time, I had used brandy, plus using a bitter chocolate, this is going to be very "kurang manis" (Less sweet).
