Chef Tips

- Wait for the melted chocolate to warm before adding to the beaten egg yolks so as not to cook the egg proteins. - Beat the yolks with the sugar for at least 3 minutes in the mixer until you get a light and thick ribbon. - Serve the mousse well chilled directly in glass bowls to enhance the spongy and firm texture.

Variations

- Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in warm chocolate to accentuate the roasted notes of the cocoa. - Add 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur like Cointreau or brandy to the beaten egg yolk mixture. - Finish each bowl with fleur de sel sprinkled at the time of serving to enhance the deep chocolate flavor.

Substitutions

- The 70% dark chocolate can be replaced by 50% or 60% semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer a sweeter palate. - Unsalted butter can be swapped for extra virgin coconut oil melted while maintaining the same measurement. - Refined white sugar can be replaced by crushed demerara sugar or light brown sugar.

How to Store

Keep the glasses individually covered with plastic wrap under refrigeration for up to 3 days. The texture becomes denser and more compact as the hours pass; remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to soften.

Can You Freeze It?

It can be frozen in individual airtight containers for up to 30 days. To consume with the best consistency, transfer from the freezer to the refrigerator for 3 hours before serving or enjoy directly as a chilled dessert.

What to Serve With

It pairs perfectly with fresh tart red fruits like raspberries and blackberries, as well as a full-bodied espresso. Also harmonizes with red Port wine, almond liqueur, or homemade unsweetened whipped cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to melt dark chocolate in the microwave without burning?

Heat at 50% power in 30-second cycles, stirring with a dry spatula between each interval.

Why do the egg whites need to be whipped with a pinch of salt?

Salt reinforces the surface tension of the egg whites, allowing them to whip into stiff peaks more quickly.

A mousse leva ovos crus; há risco alimentar?

Utilize sempre ovos frescos e higienizados de procedência confiável ou utilize ovos pasteurizados refrigerados.

Why did my mousse become too dense and without aeration?

This occurs when the whipped egg whites are mixed quickly and abruptly, expelling the air trapped in the foam.
