I am little bit nervous about this as i read that this recipe though simple needs attention . Me and my tiny whisk are ready to take upon the challenge.
Ingredients:
80g dark chocolate (I picked a Bonneville from office store)
2 tbsp brandy (courtesy my father-in-law, you can use water also
Butter
3 fresh eggs
coarsely chop chocolate. Add chocolate and brandy/water to a bowl and place the bowl over another bowl with water. let the chocolate melt on low flame.
While chocolate is melting, whisk egg whites until firm. It was a quite a task...but worthwhile.
Once chocolate melts, remove bowl from heat and add 10g of butter. (I had difficulty with this step, I had to add some water to the chocolate as it started to become hard)
Now stir in egg yolks one after another.
Stir about third of egg white. Using a sharp edged spatula, carefully fold the rest of the egg whites into it.
spoon the mouse to whatever pretty glasses u fancy. Chill for 2 hrs and serve
I was not very happy with the result, but my family really enjoyed it. It is tasty for sure, but I doubt if it can be called mousse as it did not set properly. Will definitely give a try again.
My son was not willing to give his empty glass, he licked every bit it.
Yummy!!!
