Chocolate Mousse

I heard this one day on the radio for a ‘Sizzler-like’ Chocolate Mousse & thought I’d give it a go. It’s so light and fluffy, and only 190 calories and 10g carbohydrates per serve! PLUS, a great source of protein. If you like a dessert after a meal, this is a cracker!!!

Total Time:

Ingredients:

☐ 170g 70% Dark Chocolate

☐ 30g Sugar Substitute (eg. Monk Fruit, Equal, etc)

☐ ½ tbsp Cocoa Powder 

☐ 6 large Egg Whites, at room temperature

☐ 30g Caster Sugar or Artificial Sweetener, such as equal or monk fruit

☐ 1 large Egg Yolk

☐ Pinch of Salt

☐ Extra milk chocolate, chopped, grated or small chocolate buttons

Method:

  1. Melt the chocolate with the cocoa powder in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or a double boiler if you have one. Take it off when the chocolate is almost melted, continue stirring until completely melted.
  2. Whisk the egg whites and sugar together in an electric mixer until strong peaks form (like a meringue mixture).
  3. Continue to whisk and add the egg yolk and salt. 
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the whisked egg whites and gently fold (ensuring the aeration remains and the mixture remains light and fluffy) until completely mixed together.
  5. Spoon or pipe into small serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. If longer, drape a sheet of glad wrap over the top to protect them. 
  6. To serve, top with sliced strawberry, raspberry, cherry, whatever takes your fancy!

Notes:

You can change it up and add other flavours. I’ve experimented with:

  • Freeze-dried Raspberry (you can buy many different types of fruit in this fashion)
  • A dollop of Salted Caramel Sauce in the bottom
  • A tablespoon of Rose Water, for lovers of Turkish Delight
  • Chopped up chocolate flavours mixed in or on top– Caramilk is my favourite!
  • A shot of Espresso
  • Chopped up Banana Lollies
  • Chopped up Jersey Caramel

The choices are endless, use your imagination and taste palette…
