| SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH KAHLÚA CREAM:
Hey foodies! I’ve got a little sweet treat for you tonight; a gorgeously rich and indulgent chocolate mousse with a kahlúa-spiked cream topping. It’s seriously good and perfect for entertaining. I used twochicksproducts for this recipe (AKA the UK’s best selling free range liquid egg white brand) because they are pasteurised AND super convenient (no separating eggs – each carton contains 15 free range egg whites – and no wastage!) which was ideal for making this quick dessert. Fancy trying it? Recipe below: ——
INGREDIENTS
(Makes 3 generous mousses)
For the mousse:
160g Two Chicks egg whites
160g dark chocolate
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (I only used 1tbsp because I love rich, dark chocolate!)
2 tbsp double cream
Pinch sea salt
•For the kahlúa cream:
100ml double cream
1-2 tbsp kahlúa liqueur
1-2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
——
METHOD
1 – melt dark chocolate over a bain-marie and set aside to cool a little.
2 – whist you wait for the chocolate to cool, whip egg whites until firm peaks are just formed (use a stand mixer or your muscles).
3 – once the chocolate has cooled, carefully stir in the double cream, maple syrup and sea salt then beat in a 1/3 of the whipped egg whites.
4 – carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites, ensuring not to knock out any air, until combined. Pour or pipe into serving containers and pop into the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
5 – before serving, make the kahlúa cream by combining all ingredients and whipping until firm. Pipe over the mousse and enjoy!
