LOW FAT CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MOUSSE FOR TWO RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• If your yogurt is not at room temperature, put it in the microwave in 30 second increments until it is no longer chilly to the touch. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 15 second increments until melted and smooth. Be sure to stir the chips after each increment to keep the chocolate from burning. Stir the melted chocolate into the greek yogurt until well blended. Sift the cocoa powder over the yogurt, stirring well to combine. Make sure to squeeze as much juice from the raspberries as you can, then stir them into the chocolate yogurt mixture. Set aside. If your eggs are not at room temperature, heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Separate the whites from the yolks and add to a heat safe glass bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of water, raise the heat to a simmer, add the Stevia to the egg whites, and whisk constantly until the eggs turn opaque and reach a very soft peak. Immediately transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand one) and beat over medium speed until the whites reach a stiff peak. Use Google images to help you get a better idea of what the peaks should look like. This helped me a lot! Very, very gently fold the egg whites into the greek yogurt mixture until well blended. Do not over mix or stir to hard or you will lose the fluffiness of the peaks! Divide the mixture into two small glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 3 hours to set.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Bring an inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Combine the cream and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. When the water boils, turn the heat to low so the water is barely simmering or just steaming. Set the bowl over the saucepan and melt the chocolate, gently stirring with a whisk now and then.
• While the chocolate melts, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer on medium speed. When the whites are foamy, add the sugar in a slow stream while whisking. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form. The whites should look glossy but not dry, and, when you lift the whisk from the mixture, a peak should form in the bowl and hold.
• Once the chocolate has melted completely, turn off the heat but leave the bowl over the saucepan. Holding the bowl with a kitchen towel, add the egg yolks one at a time, whisking after each addition. If the mixture looks broken, remove the bowl from the saucepan, cool for a minute, then add 1 tablespoon cream and whisk just until shiny and smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. (Don't worry if it still doesn't look completely smooth. It will come together in the next step.)
• Add a quarter of the beaten whites to the chocolate mixture and stir gently with a flexible rubber spatula until incorporated but still a little streaky. This will make it easier to fold in the remaining whites to create an airy mousse by gradually lowering the temperature of the chocolate (tempering) and making the mixture loose.
• Add the rest of the whites and fold them in by running the spatula from 12 o'clock on the bowl to 6 o'clock, then scooping up the chocolate on the bottom and gently folding it over the whites as you move toward 9 o'clock. Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and repeat. Continue folding just until the last streak of white disappears. It's OK if there are a few lumps of whites left. It's better to not deflate the batter by folding too much.
• Scoop into a pretty bowl or into individual cups or bowls for serving if you'd like. Otherwise, keep it in the mixing bowl. Refrigerate the mousse uncovered until cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 more hours and preferably 24. The covered mousse can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
• If you'd like to serve the mousse with whipped cream, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. A cup or two of heavy cream is plenty for this amount of mousse. Serve the mousse cold, straight from the refrigerator, with the whipped cream.
