Scale

Chocolate Mousse Dome Ingredients

  • 200g dark chocolate
  • 300ml heavy cream
  • 3 egg whites
  • 50g sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly to room temperature to prevent curdling when mixed with other ingredients.
  2. Whip Cream: Using a mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This creates a light and airy texture, essential for the mousse’s creaminess. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, which will help give the mousse volume.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Cream: Fold the melted chocolate gently into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful to preserve the light texture.
  5. Incorporate Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate and cream mixture in batches to maintain the airiness of the mousse.
  6. Mold and Chill: Spoon the mixture into a dome-shaped mold, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  7. Unmold and Serve: Carefully unmold the mousse dome onto a serving plate. Serve chilled as a stunning and luscious dessert.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure all mixing bowls and utensils are completely clean and dry before beating egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
  • You can add a splash of coffee or liqueur to the melted chocolate for enhanced flavor variation.
  • For easier unmolding, briefly dip the mold’s exterior in warm water before inverting onto the plate.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated, making it perfect for entertaining.
