This mousse delivers all the indulgent flavours of a classic chocolate dessert with a smooth, velvety texture that’s sure to impress. Here’s how to make this easy, egg-free chocolate mousse.
Ingredients:
200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
1 cup thickened cream
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon activated phenolics powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), melt the dark chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between. Let it cool slightly.
Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form. Add the caster sugar and continue to whip until the cream is thick and stable.
Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully combined. Be careful to fold gently to keep the mousse light and airy.
Add Flavour: Stir in the activated phenolics powder and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set and chill.
Serve: Garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve chilled.
Tips:
Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best results. You can adjust the type of chocolate based on your taste preference for sweetness and richness.
Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a less sweet mousse, you can reduce the amount of caster sugar or use a sugar substitute.
Textural Variations: For a different texture, you can fold in some finely chopped nuts or a swirl of fruit puree before chilling.
Storage: Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it will keep well if sealed properly.
This egg-free chocolate mousse is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic dessert with added health benefits. The activated phenolics powder enhances the flavour while providing a nutritional boost, making this treat both indulgent and wholesome. Enjoy!
