After posting the Chocolate Mousse recipe I noticed the use of a sugar substitute, without mentioning the brand(type), which could make a big difference when measuring by weight. It had more to do with the shaping/molding technique. I thought I'd post a more traditional recipe to work with. ================================================== 6 ounces (170g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
chocolate, butter and coffee, stirring over the barely simmering water, until smooth. Remove from heat.
the eggs with the 2/3 cup of sugar, rum, and water for about 3 minutes until the mixture is thick, like runny mayonnaise. (You can also use a handheld electric mixer.)
until cool and thick, as shown in the photo above. Then fold the chocolate mixture into the egg yolks.
they start to hold their shape. Whip in the tablespoon of sugar and continue to beat until thick and shiny, but not completely stiff, then the vanilla.
of the whites just until incorporated, but don't overdo it or the mousse will lose volume.
least 4 hours, until firm. Storage: The mousse au chocolat can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.BTW: The plating seems to be a dollop of the Passion Fruit Cream(to hold the shell) |
