Chocolate Mousse
This Chocolate Mousse recipe is legendary within my family. The recipe came to us from a family friend who lived in our street when I was growing up. She is an amazing French lady who loves to cook, and while living in Australia she loved sharing recipes from home. I can remember many a meal that she cooked, from lentil stews to this fantastic mustard tart. But her Chocolate Mousse has always been the ultimate!
It is one of those dishes that show how you can make something truly amazing with very few ingredients. The real secret to this mousse is to take care. Don’t rush the process, take all the time you need to get the egg yolks whipped just so, to get the sugar completely dissolved and the whites folded in ever so gently. The end result gives you a mousse that is rich and decadent with an almost velvety fudge like texture. It’s amazing!
