How to Make Chocolate Amaretto Mousse
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just simmering.
- Remove from heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate and amaretto until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture. Then, pour the tempered yolks into the remaining chocolate mixture and whisk until combined.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
- Divide the mousse among individual serving glasses or ramekins.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
- Before serving, garnish with shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or amaretto-soaked cherries (optional).
