Chocolate Mousse (Eggless)



               Who doesn't love Chocolate Mousse ??? Its such a simple & delicious dessert !!! It can change your sad mood to a happy one !!! It will definitely bring a smile on your face.

               Below I am sharing a recipe of eggless chocolate mousse. It needs only 4 ingredients. Check below for step by step picture presentation recipe.




Ingredients:
  • Whipping Cream 200 gms
  • Dark Chocolate bar 60 - 70 gms
  • Sugar 1 tsp
  • Vanilla essence few drops




Method:
  • Place the bowl (in which you will whip the cream) & whisk attachment of your hand mixer in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a pan filled with water for boiling. Place a bowl over this boiling water. In this bowl add chocolate pieces. Stir it continuously until chocolate melts. It will not take more than 3 - 4 minutes. Once the chocolate melts, remove the bowl from boiling water & set aside to bring it to room temperature.
  • Remove the bowl from fridge.
  • Add to it whipping cream, sugar & vanilla essence. Whip it until soft peaks are formed in it using hand mixer.
  • In the melted chocolate bowl, fold the whipped cream mixture in 3 batches.
  • Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to melted chocolate & fold it gently with a wire whisk. Add the remaining 2 batches of whipped cream to the melted chocolate mixture & fold in gently until melted chocolate & whipped cream is very well combined.
  • Once all done, divide the mousse in small glasses or serving bowls (anything of your choice) & place it in fridge for 3 - 4 hours or until the mousse sets.
  • Garnish with orange zest or some grated chocolate or even fresh fruits.




Tips:
  • Add sugar according to your taste. I only added 1 tsp since chocolate bar is also sweet.
  • Placing the bowl & whisk attachment in the fridge before whipping the cream helps to quicken the process of whipping.
  • Use Dark chocolate bar for this recipe.
  • Instead of melting the chocolate using double boiler method, you can just add the chocolate to microwave safe bowl & heat it in microwave for 30 - 40 seconds or until the chocolate melts.




Step by Step Picture Presentation:

Place a vessel containing water for boiling.
Over it, keep a heatproof bowl containing chocolate bar chunks to melt.
 
Stir it often with a spoon or fork. Once all the chocolate is melted, keep it aside.
 
Add sugar & vanilla essence to a whipping cream bowl.
 
Whisk it with a hand blender until soft peaks are formed.
 
Add 1/3rd of the whipped cream mixture to the melted chocolate.
 
Whisk both the mixtures. You have to be quick & gentle. Don't over mix it.
 
Do the same with the remaining whipped cream.
You will get a nice smooth chocolate mousse mixture.
Add it to serving bowls & let them chill for 4 hours.
