Ingredients
- 225 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 45 grams unsalted butter
- 4 pieces large eggs, separated
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 60 ml Kahlua liquor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 10 grams dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)
- 50 grams whipped cream (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Stir until smooth and fully combined, then remove the bowl from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Kahlua, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the melted chocolate until well blended.
Step 3
In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, a little at a time, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 5
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, using a spatula to maintain the light texture. Next, fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Step 6
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
