Portioned chocolate mousse topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 12 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 170 g semi-sweet chocolate, melted, + chocolate chips for topping
- 1 and 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sour cream
Preparation:
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and place a cookie in the bottom of each cup.
- In a large heatproof bowl, combine eggs, sugar, salt and water.
- Pour a few centimeters of water into a saucepan, bring to a boil, and place a bowl on top (make sure it doesn't touch the water). Cook the egg mixture, whisking constantly, until it becomes fluffy, pale, and very thick (like thick pudding), 25-40 minutes, depending on the size of your bowl.
- Remove from the double boiler and stir in the melted chocolate; let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with sour cream using a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Spread the mixture evenly among the molds. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 12 hours or overnight.
- Run a spatula around each mousse to loosen it from the pan and slide the spatula under the cookies; place the mousse cakes in the pan (if they are too soft, briefly chill in the freezer).
- In a large bowl, beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream with a mixer until soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream over the cakes and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
