Mousse au chocolat - Chocolate mouss

- 250 gr of black chocolate 70%

- 10 cl of light cream but you can replace this ingredient by 20gr of butter if you do not want your chocolate to get too hard

- 4 eggs

Break your chocolate in pieces in a bowl

Let melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with hot water

When the chocolate is fully melted add the light cream and stir. Let it in the bain-marie.

Separate the egg whites of the yolk and beat the whites until very very compact.

Take the chocolate out of the bain-marie. Add and stir the yolk. Your chocolate needs to be very smooth and light.

Pour the mousse in small recipients and store them at least 6hours in the fridge.

Et voila! 

Tips :

Add some water (not too much) in the whites when still liquid and bubbly : you ll get more!

You can change the recipe by... changing of chocolate or why not make a mouss with 3 different chocolate layers! You just need to pour the first layer and wait some time for the mousse to  become a bit hard before to pour the second one and repeat for the 3 layer.

If you use black chocolate 90 % add a bit of sugar

For milk or white chocolate add a little bit of milk

You could even realise this mousse with some particular flavored chocolates...

Add a bit of extract of almond in your mousse, it is just delicious!

Decorate your mousse with grated chocolate white or black... and add a small fruit on the side - strawberry, orange...

You can also add a little stick of biscuit.

For a children dessert think about small and colorful sweets for the top - Trust me they will just love it!
