30 Minute Chocolate Mouse
A quick chocolate mousse that comes together in 15 minutes. Velvety smooth, chocolate mousse is delicious on its own or with whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 236ml (1 cup) heavy whipping cream
- 30ml (2 tbsp) milk
- 36g (approx. 2) egg yolks
- 3g (2 tsp) granulated sugar
- 60g 66% dark chocolate finely chopped
Instructions
- Put 177ml (¾ cup) of the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan and bring to a low simmer.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar (or coconut cream for vegan) together until combined.
- When the milk has simmered, stream into the whisked egg mixture while whisking continuously.
- Pour the combined eggs and milk back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking continuously, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon about 180-183°F. Check by coating the back of a spoon, and running a finger through the mixture. The texture should be thick enough that the mixture coats the back of a spoon and holds its structure when you swipe your fingertip across it.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool slightly until comfortable to touch. Pour into a bowl filled with the chopped chocolate. Mix with a spatula until smooth
- Whisk the remaining 59ml (¼ cup) of heavy cream to stiff peaks, then carefully fold into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the chocolate into clean glass containers, cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or more to set.
