Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams Caster sugar
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 ml Amarula liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Dark chocolate shavings
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate and unsalted butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
Separate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls. Add the caster sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until pale and creamy.
Step 4
Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring it is fully combined.
Step 5
In the bowl with the egg whites, whisk until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions to maintain the mousse's lightness.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently mix in the Amarula liqueur and vanilla extract.
Step 7
Carefully fold the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the mousse airy.
Step 8
Divide the mousse evenly among six serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Step 10
Before serving, garnish each mousse with dark chocolate shavings and a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
