Zubereitung von Chocolate After Dinner Mint Parfaits
- **Chocolate Mousse:** Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- Melt 6 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a clean bowl of an electric mixer, beat 3 large eggs and 1/2 cup granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, or until thick and pale.
- Gently heat the softened gelatin in a small saucepan over very low heat until melted.
- Slowly whisk the melted gelatin into the egg mixture.
- Stir in the melted chocolate. Gently fold in 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks.
- Divide the mousse evenly among 8 (3/4-cup) serving glasses.

- Meanwhile, soften 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin in 1 tablespoon cold water as in step 1. Melt the gelatin as in step 4.
