How to Make Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse For Your Valentine
- In a double boiler, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm (about 3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and quickly whisk in 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped) and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Whisk until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature.
- In a chilled medium bowl set over an ice bath, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently whisk half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
- Cover the mousse with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
- Enjoy your delicious and romantic chocolate mousse!
