Rich Dark Chocolate Mousse
Light but intense thanks to the dark chocolate. And a drop of Soy Sauce gives it that extra umami depth. This is how mousse is supposed to be.
Ingredients
- 180 g dark chocolate (approx. 53 % cocoa)
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce
- 0.5 half vanilla pod
- 0.5 half orange, grated
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml whipped cream
- *** To serve ***
- 4 tbsp whipped cream
- 250 g raspberries
- 100 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place in two medium-sized metal bowls. Make sure that the bowl for the egg whites is very clean to ensure that they will stiffen later.
- Chop the chocolate and melt this in a heatproof bowl over a bain-marie.
- In the meantime, take another bowl and whip the cream to almost stiff peaks, then whip the egg whites to very stiff peaks.
- Now beat the egg yolks together with the sugar, scraped vanilla pod seeds, orange zest and soy sauce over a bain-marie until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove the mixture from the bain-marie and quickly fold the stiff egg whites, chocolate and cream into the egg yolk mixture, one after the other.
- Pour this into a good-sized bowl (not too large) and chill for at least 60 minutes.
- Before serving, place a dollop of whipped cream on each chocolate mousse and garnish with raspberries and dark chocolate chips.
