How to Make Chocolate And Amarula Mousse

  1. Melt 6 ounces (170g) of high-quality dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons (30g) of unsalted butter in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth and melted.
  2. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. Gently whisk in 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream and 1/4 cup (60ml) Amarula cream liqueur. Mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened. Gradually pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and emulsified.
  5. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
  7. Before serving, top with whipped cream (optional), chocolate shavings, and fresh raspberries (optional).
  8. Enjoy your luxurious Chocolate and Amarula Mousse!
