Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
- 20 grams dark chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
- 50 grams additional raspberries (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler method: set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Reserve about 1/4 of the whipped cream in a separate bowl for topping.
Step 4
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the larger portion of the whipped cream until smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
Step 5
To make the raspberry sauce, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and form a sauce.
Step 6
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds and set the sauce aside to cool.
Step 7
To assemble, layer the chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and raspberry sauce in individual serving glasses or bowls. Start with a layer of chocolate mousse, then a drizzle of raspberry sauce, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Repeat the layers, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Step 8
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings or curls and a few fresh raspberries for a sophisticated touch.
Step 9
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold.
