Zubereitung von Nigella's Chocolate Cherry Mousse For Two
- In a heavy-based saucepan, combine 4 ounces (113g) finely chopped dark chocolate, 1 tablespoon cherry brandy or kirsch, 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon (12g) light corn syrup.
- Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar if using cherry brandy, or 3 tablespoons granulated sugar if using kirsch.
- Melt over very low heat, stirring gently until smooth. Scrape the mixture into a heatproof bowl and allow to cool slightly.
- Separate 2 large eggs. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined. Gently fold in a spoonful of the whipped egg whites to lighten the mixture.
- Carefully fold the remaining egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Use a spatula and gentle folding motions.
- Spoon the mousse into two wine glasses or small serving dishes.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours, to allow the mousse to set.
- Garnish with fresh cherries or chocolate shavings before serving (optional). Yields 2 servings.
