CHOCOLATE VELVET MOUSSE

Steps:

• NOTE: The flavor of this mousse depends entirely on the chocolate you use.
• Please use the highest quality chocolate you can.
• DO NOT use Bakers chocolate.
• Do not use chocolate chips.
• I like Callabeut, but Sharffenberger, Valhrona, Giardelli-- all are options.
• DIRECTIONS: melt the chocolate, espresso, and rum in the microwave on 50% power for about 2 minutes.
• Stir until smooth.
• Whisk in the yolk and mix well.
• Set aside.
• Using a little dash of vinegar and a paper towel, wipe down the insides of the bowl of your mixer, and the whipping attachment.
• Add the whites and whip until soft peaks form.
• Sprinkle in the sugar, beating on high until stiff, but not dry.
• Fold a quarter of the whites into the chocolate to lighten it, then scrape the remaining whites on top of the chocolate and set aside.
• Beat the cream until it holds its shape (not too stiff) then scrape on top of the whites.
• Fold everything together gently until no streaks of white appear.
• Turn the mousse into your prepared mold, into pretty cups, into custard cups, or whatever you are serving it in and refrigerate until service, at least 2 hours.
• Or just refrigerate in the bowl until needed as a filling for cakes or cream puffs, etc.
• Note: This mousse is very rich and decadent, and it's my favorite because it holds it shape nicely when refrigerated.
• This allows it to be formed into molds and terrines and be sliced or cut.
• It is also a great spreading consistency, and my favorite thing to do with this mousse is use it as a filling for cakes.
• I also like to fold more whipped cream into it (50% mousse, 50% whipped cream) and use it as a filling for eclairs, cream puffs and profiteroles.
• The uses for this mousse are endless.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Scrape the solid coconut cream from the cans into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (alternatively, use a handheld electric mixer and a large mixing bowl), leaving the liquid coconut milk behind. This should yield slightly less than two cups of solid coconut cream. Reserve the liquid coconut milk for another use.
• Sift the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat the coconut cream until very smooth and soft peaks appear, about 2 minutes. Remove 1/4 cup of the cream. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator for topping the mousse.
• With the mixer running on low, slowly sprinkle in the sifted cocoa-sugar mixture into the remaining coconut cream until well combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla extract until just combined.
• Divide the mousse between four dessert cups. Refrigerate for one hour, or until firm. Top each cup with the reserved whipped topping and serve.

SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Preparation:.
• Chill a medium mixing bowl in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, place the cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin and let stand 1 minute. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.
• In the chilled bowl, combine Splenda, cocoa powder, salt, whipping cream and vanilla until roughly mixed. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat mixture until it becomes stiff. Do not over-beat or you will end up with chocolate butter. Beat in the gelatin mixture just until combined.
• Spoon chocolate mousse into decorative dessert dishes or martini glasses. Chill 1 to 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream lightly sweetened with Splenda and a sprinkling of cocoa powder if desired.
• May be made a day in advance.
