THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE



The Best Chocolate Mousse image

The best chocolate mousse must be perfect. It should taste rich, indulgent and not too sweet, with a texture that is both light-and-airy and silky-and-smooth. After many attempts we nailed it and made a dessert that not only exceeded our standards, it's also quite easy to pull off. Close your eyes and take a bite -- you'll be transported to a 4-star French restaurant.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups cold heavy cream
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
  • Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt and 1 tablespoon water to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has almost doubled in volume, about 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes.
  • Put the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and gently stir for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate in 3 additions until combined. (The mixture may get very thick.) Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions until it is fully incorporated. It is important that the chocolate mixture is not warm to ensure that it combines smoothly with the whipped cream without seizing up.
  • Divide the chocolate mousse among four 4-ounce ramekins and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Whip the remaining 3/4 cup cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Top each chocolate mousse with whipped cream and serve. (For a softer texture, allow the ramekins to sit at room temperature while you whip the cream.)

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
One 8-ounce zucchini (about 1 large), grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Canola nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan

  • Adjust rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the butter, oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Fold in the zucchini.
  • Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir the zucchini mixture in to the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Coat an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray then spoon the batter into the pan, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake, rotating about halfway through, until puffed and golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.
