Simple Ingredients: You’ll only need five pantry staples to create this delicious mousse.
Quick & Easy: This mousse comes together in less than 15 minutes, then simply chills in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Ingredients:

Chocolate: We recommend using high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor. Milk chocolate can be used, but the mousse might lose some of its intensity.
Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before using.
Cream: Thickened cream is essential for achieving the desired texture.
Sugar: Caster sugar works best, but icing sugar can be used if that’s all you have on hand.
Salt: A pinch of salt stabilizes the egg whites and won’t affect the flavor of the mousse.

Instructions:

Grate the Chocolate: Grate the chocolate using a grater.
Melt the Chocolate: Add a small amount of cream to the grated chocolate and cook in the Thermomix until the chocolate is completely melted.
Combine with Egg Yolks: Add the egg yolks to the melted chocolate mixture and blend until well combined. Set aside.
Whip the Cream: Whip the remaining cream until it forms soft peaks. Set aside.
Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean Thermomix bowl, whisk the egg whites, caster sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
Fold in the Cream and Chocolate: Gently fold the whipped cream and the chocolate mixture into the whipped egg whites.
Chill and Serve: Divide the mousse among serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to set.

Serving Suggestions:

I love to serve my Thermomix Chocolate Mousse in small glasses and offer a variety of delicious toppings. Chopped strawberries, raspberries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, crushed Peppermint Crisp bars, or crushed honeycomb are all fantastic choices. You can’t go wrong with any of them!

Tips & Tricks:

While this recipe only takes 15 minutes of active prep time, allow for 2-3 hours of chilling time for the mousse to set properly.
Using high-quality dark chocolate will result in the most flavorful mousse. Milk chocolate can be used, but the mousse will be lighter in color and less intense.
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whipping the egg whites.
The Thermomix bowl must be perfectly clean and dry before whipping the egg whites to ensure a light and fluffy result.
