Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 3 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Add the unsalted butter to the chocolate and melt them together over a simmering water bath (double boiler). Stir frequently until smooth and remove from heat to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum.
Step 4
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
Step 5
In a separate clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in thirds, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Step 7
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 8
Divide the mousse into four serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops with a spoon.
Step 9
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 10
Serve the Chocolate Rum Mousse chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
