PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• Start by melting the chocolate . Either place the chocolate chips or gratings into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water, and resist the temptation to stir the chocolate until it has melted. Once melted, you can stir with a wooden spoon, not metal. Or, melt the chocolate in a microwave for 30 seconds, stir (with a wooden spoon) repeating for 30 seconds at a time until smooth.
• Remove the bowl from the pan or the microwave. Stir in the peanut butter and set the bowl aside to cool for 5 minutes. Lightly beat the egg yolks with a fork, then stir into the chocolate to create a glossy, thick sauce. Add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir again.
• Whisk the egg whites using a stand or electric mixer, or by hand with a whisk. Ensuring the whisks and bowls you are using are scrupulously clean, because if not, they will not whip up very well. The egg whites are ready when they are firm and glossy.
• Put the wooden spoons aside, use a metal tablespoon and stir in 1/3 of the egg whites to loosen up the chocolate. Then, again using the metal spoon, gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
• Gently spoon the mousse into either one large bowl, or divide into four jars, glasses, or bowls. Pop these into the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour. You can also make the mousse the day before needed. Cover tightly and chill until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, loosely whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon onto the mousse. Decorate with more chocolate, salt flakes, or even fresh raspberries. The mousse does not store well and cannot be frozen, so enjoy fresh.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER TART

Steps:

• Make the crust: Whisk flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low, and gradually beat in flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with cream and beginning and ending with flour mixture. Shape dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before rolling.
• Roll out dough into a 7-by-16-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Fit into a 4 1/2-by-14-inch rectangular tart ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Push dough into corners of ring to create sharp edges; trim so that dough is flush with top of ring. Prick dough all over with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line crust with parchment, pressing so that it is flush with dough, especially in corners. Fill with pie weights or dried beans; bake until edges are set, about 20 minutes. Remove weights and parchment; bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Make the brittle: Bring sugar, butter, corn syrup, and water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to brown. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until golden brown. Stir in baking soda, salt, and peanuts until well combined (mixture should be the color of peanut butter). Immediately pour onto a nonstick baking mat, spreading out as thinly as possible with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Finely chop half the brittle with a heavy knife to yield 1/2 cup. Reserve remainder for another use.
• Make the filling: Heat peanut butter in a microwave until fluid, about 30 seconds. Pour 1/2 cup into crust, and top with chopped brittle, pressing it into peanut butter. Freeze tart until peanut butter is firm, about 10 minutes. For ganache, bring cream to a boil; pour over chocolate in a small bowl. Add salt; let sit 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a disposable pastry bag with remaining fluid peanut butter (if peanut butter has thickened, microwave it 10 seconds), and snip off end. Whisk ganache until smooth, and immediately pour into tart, smoothing with a mini offset spatula if necessary. Pipe peanut butter in continuous diagonal zigzag lines down length of tart. Draw a wooden skewer perpendicularly through peanut butter lines in a zigzag motion down length of tart. Then draw skewer in a continuous sideways loop pattern down length of tart to create swirls.
• Refrigerate tart until set, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours. Cut into wedges, and serve.
