Ingredients
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for garnish)
- 10 grams Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the mascarpone mixture, folding gently to combine. Make sure the chocolate is cool enough not to melt the mascarpone but warm enough to mix smoothly.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 5
Fold the whipped cream gently into the chocolate mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and airy texture.
Step 6
Divide the cream into individual serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder and dark chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
