CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler at a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the espresso powder and mix to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla to soft peaks in a large bowl, then let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whip the egg whites in a separate large bowl until they hold soft peaks. Set aside.
• Take a large spoonful of the egg whites and mix into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold the remaining egg whites in. Fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks appear. Divide among glasses or bowls. Top with Blackberry Sauce, grated chocolate and whipped cream, if using.
• Combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the berries soften and break down, about 10 minutes. Mash the berries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add the liqueur and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve. Let cool slightly before using.

THROWDOWN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone pads.
• Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Place the butter in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugars and continue mixing, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes longer. Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract. Add half of the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Add the remaining flour mixture, again mixing until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand and fold in the chocolate chunks.
• Using a small ice cream scoop, spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie, and bake on the middle rack until the cookies are lightly golden brown and still soft in the middle, about 11 minutes. Let the cookies rest for 2 minutes on the baking sheets before removing them to a baking rack with a wide metal spatula. Let the cookies cool on the baking rack for a few minutes before eating. Repeat with the remaining dough.

DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a large bowl set over a bain marie or in a double boiler at a low simmer. Stir chocolate until melted. Turn off the heat and let stand.
• Beat the cream over ice until it forms soft peaks. Set aside and hold at room temperature. With a mixer, whip egg to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar and continue whipping until firm.
• Remove the chocolate from the bain marie and using a whisk, fold in the egg whites all at once. When the whites are almost completely incorporated, fold in the whipped cream. Cover the mousse and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour or until set. Serve in goblets topped with more whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired.

BOBBY FLAY'S DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Gather all ingredients.
• Melt the chocolate in a double broiler or a pot on low heat. Once melted, turn off heat and let it cool
• In a bowl beat the 14 ounces of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
• In another bowl beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue whipping until firm.
• Pour chocolate into the bowl with the egg whites. Fold the egg whites and chocolate with a rubber spatula.
• Fold the heavy whipping cream into the egg whites and chocolate mixture until there are no more white streaks. Cover the mousse and chill in fridge for at least 2 hours
• To make whipped cream pour a cup of heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar into a bowl. Beat for 3 minutes until large peaks form.
• Serve mousse in ramekins or goblets. Add a dollop of whipped cream, strawberries, and shaved chocolate.

DARK CHOCOLATE VELVET MOUSSE

Steps:

• For the caramel crunch: Spray a rimmed baking sheet with canola cooking spray and set aside.
• Pour the granulated sugar into a clean, dry medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring every so often with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts and turns a dark amber color (it will register at least 320 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Immediately pour the caramelized sugar onto the prepared baking sheet. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes; it should become brittle. Once brittle, break it into large pieces, put them in a plastic bag and bash the bag until finer shards form.
• For the mousse: Combine the chocolate, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl.
• Bring 2 cups of the heavy cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour the hot cream into the bowl with the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes. Cool completely.
• Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer at the highest speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and whisk at the highest speed until shiny, firm peaks form, about 2 minutes more. The mixture should be airy and glossy.
• Gently fold about 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until it's all one color and texture. Fold in the rest of the meringue until just incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours.
• To serve, whip the heavy whipping cream and baker's sugar to soft peaks. Top a scoop of the mousse with whipped cream, caramel crunch, and chopped chocolate.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

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.)
