you really can't go wrong with this
0:02
recipe for chocolate mousse it's good
0:04
for any special occasion and I know
0:08
everything that you can do wrong while
0:11
making this recipe cuz I did them and
0:14
I'll share them towards the end of the
0:16
video so first thing that I want to do
0:18
is kind of chop up the chocolate into
0:20
smaller pieces so that it melts really
0:25
quickly no need to over complicate it
0:28
just some rough cuts for the chocolate
0:31
you can really use what you prefer your
0:34
favorite 70% dark chocolate if you
0:37
choose to hang on I'll show you how to
0:39
make sure your mousse does not end up
0:41
looking like this and instead is light
0:44
and fluffy how mousse should be so now
0:47
just let that melt very gently you want
0:49
to make sure that the bottom of the bowl
0:50
is not touching the water that may be
0:53
either simmering or boiling just let the
0:56
steam that's rising gently melt the
1:00
chocolate and the butter until then
1:02
let's take a look at our egg yolks so
1:04
they go right into your KitchenAid
1:07
blender even a large bowl with a hand
1:09
whisk would work along with the sugar
1:13
then whisk it on high speed until it's
1:15
very pale and at the ribbon stage see
1:17
the goal of doing this is to really make
1:19
sure the sugar completely blends into
1:23
the egg yolk so that when you taste it
1:26
you don't taste any grains of sugar the
1:29
chocolate super nice and molten the
1:31
cocoa butter in 70% dark chocolate
1:34
really helps to make sure you get just
1:38
mousse i'm going to now slowly start
1:41
adding in the chocolate to the egg over
1:44
here and as I do that you want to just
1:46
make sure you keep mixing and this right
1:48
here is the best part about making this
1:52
recipe that color you can't go wrong
1:56
with it it just looks so enticing i know
1:58
it's just yolks sugar butter and
2:01
chocolate but wow it's like art set that
2:05
aside because now it's time to whirl
2:11
and now just whisk it up on high speed
2:13
until you get some nice soft clouds of
2:16
egg whites when it's done it should look
2:18
just like this so first I'm going to
2:21
take some of the egg whites just to help
2:24
mixing this easier and folding the egg
2:27
whites easier going to whisk this
2:29
up just to act like a starter and now
2:35
time keep adding egg whites and doing
2:40
the folding action to incorporate it
2:43
essentially we're incorporating air by
2:46
following this pattern and you can kind
2:48
of see in the texture right now
2:52
that is just love in a bowl now you can
2:55
go ahead and portion these out flatten
2:58
the tops and clean the sides if you have
3:01
to i pop these in the fridge for about 4
3:06
to 6 hours i promised you some tips so
3:09
here they are make sure you allow the
3:10
molten chocolate to cool down slightly
3:12
because otherwise the eggs will scramble
3:15
and they will likely deflate second do
3:18
not use unsweetened chocolate because it
3:20
does not have enough sugar or cocoa
3:22
butter to get the right creamy
3:25
consistency the eggs will turn out
3:27
grainy and it'll be a huge waste of
3:30
chocolate so # say chocolate now you can
3:34
just top these off with some fresh
3:36
whipped cream check out how to make that
3:38
down below using a whipped cream
3:41
dispenser and then dust it off with some
3:44
cocoa powder use the best quality
3:46
chocolate cream cocoa butter to get this
3:51
perfect mousse so if you liked how this
3:54
turned out then make sure to check out
3:57
my Oreo mud pie i used this mousse to
4:01
fill the mud pie and it was super good
