About Mousse au Chocolat
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Chef Philippe’s selected chocolate mousse combines dark chocolate and butter with egg yolks and an Italian meringue made for the recipe. An optional coffee extract adds another flavour to the chocolate mixture.
Dark chocolate and butter melt together over a very low heat. Separately, sugar cooks with a little water into a syrup while the egg whites are beaten firmly.
The cooked sugar syrup is poured into the whites while they are whisked. Beating continues until that Italian meringue has cooled completely.
The yolks are mixed into the melted chocolate, followed by the optional coffee extract. The meringue is incorporated until the mousse becomes homogeneous.
The complete mousse goes into individual serving cups and chills until set. This version uses the cooked-syrup meringue to bring the egg whites into the chocolate-and-yolk mixture.
