Chocolate Mousse

🍰 Desserts

Three-ingredient chocolate mousse — cloud-textured, restaurant-dressed. Smooth, wobbly and elegant — restaurant-simple, home-easy. Lovely with a few berries or a thin biscuit on the side.

Prep 17 min Cook 13 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk2 cups
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Dark Chocolate2 cups, chopped
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather everything before you start — custards punish multitasking.

  2. 2

    Combine the milk, heavy cream and sugar, stirring until dissolved, then take it off the heat.

  3. 3

    Combine the dark chocolate with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.

  5. 5

    Divide between glasses, press clingfilm onto the surface, chill until set, then crown with egg yolk.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
