Dark Chocolate Mousse
With only a few simple ingredients, you can make this rich, decadent chocolate mousse.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 125 grams mascarpone
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 150 grams dark chocolate
Garnish
- 75 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams dark chocolate
Instructions
- Whip the mascarpone and vanilla paste in a medium-sized bowl for 60 seconds (I use a hand mixer).
- Add the heavy cream and whip on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the maple syrup.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan on low heat or in the microwave.
- Pour 50 grams of the melted dark chocolate to a piping bag, and let the remaining chocolate cool until lukewarm.
- Trace the outline of the serving glasses on parchment paper (turn the paper over).
- Pipe a chocolate flower on top of the outline, making sure it is wider than the glass.
- Repeat, and allow the flowers to set.
- Fold the cooled 150 grams of cooled chocolate mixture into the mascarpone cream until no streaks of cream remain.
- Whip the cream for the topping.
- Divide the mousse into serving glasses, and top with whipped cream and chocolate flowers.
