HOSTING, Sweets
For a recent dinner party in partnership with Hommey to launch their new dinnerware, I made this irresistible chocolate mousse. It is the ultimate dinner party dessert as you can prepare it the day before, so all you have to do is serve and enjoy! I also mix both milk and dark chocolate, which in my opinion, makes the best mousse- you get the best of both worlds.
Ingredients
- 450 ml thickened cream
- 6 large eggs, separated
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 80 g caster sugar
- 300 g milk chocolate
- 300 g dark chocolate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: 200g chopped chocolate
To serve
- Flakey Sea Salt
- Whipped cream
- Strawberries
Directions
Whip the cream until soft peaks form and set aside.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add the caster sugar and continue whisking until stiff and glossy.
Melt the milk and dark chocolate together until completely smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Add a generous spoonful of the whipped cream to the chocolate, followed by the egg yolks, vanilla and salt. Whisk until combined.
Fold through the remaining whipped cream.
Gently fold through half the whipped egg whites, then the remaining half, taking care not to knock out all that air.
If using, gently fold in your chopped chocolate.
Spoon into a large serving bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight to set.
When ready to serve, top mousse with flakey sea salt, whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
