Eggless Chocolate Mousse Recipe
When I think about mousse, the first thing that comes to my mind is this super easy egg-free chocolate mousse recipe. It is smooth, creamy, rich and incredibly delicious!
The only difference between this recipe and the classic chocolate mousse recipe is the absence of eggs from the ingredients.
This recipe is great for all chocolate lovers and perfect for Valentine's Day or Christmas.
You'll Need
Dark Chocolate: I use unsweetened dark chocolate. For best results, use good quality chocolate.
Honey: It helps to make the whole mix a bit sweeter.
Heavy Cream: It gives the mousse a rich, light and fluffy texture. Don't overwhip it to achieve a smooth result.
Instant Coffee: It intensifies the chocolate flavor in this dessert.
Vanilla Extract: It helps to enhance the flavor.
Grated Chocolate: I like to garnish my mousse with grated chocolate. You can use chocolate shavings if you like.
Let's Begin the Process!
How To Make This Recipe
One: Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe small bowl and then microwave it for 20 seconds or just until melted (I chop the chocolate into tiny pieces so they don't take too long to melt).
Tip: If you don't have a microwave, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
Two: While the melted chocolate is still hot from being microwaved, it is best to add the honey immediately. Stir the honey and dark chocolate together and let this mixture cool down.
Three: In another clean mixing bowl, heavy cream must be whip and the other ingredients (e.g., instant coffee and vanilla extract) using electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (reserve some for the topping).
Four: After that, make sure that the chocolate mixture has already cooled down. Then fold it into the whipped cream. Mix the chocolate mixture and the whipped cream thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until the two different combinations become one.
Five: Put the mixture in a piping bag and pip into the serving cups or small bowls.
Six: Chill the mousse until set for about 20-30 minutes. As a finishing touch, decorate with the reserved whipped cream and scatter some grated chocolate on top optional and serve.
Tip: Store this chocolate mousse in the fridge; it will keep well for about three days.
How can I melt my dark chocolate if I have no microwave oven?
The perfect method for melting chocolate if you don't have a microwave is a water bath method, to do so:
- Fill a small pot or a saucepan halfway up with water, bring to a boil.
- Add a heat-safe bowl on the top of the pot, add the chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally until the chocolate fully melts ( it may take 2-3 minutes).
