CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Ingredients
250 gr. Cooking chocolate[ Cadbury's Bournville works just well-3 packets]
6 eggs
80 gr. de butter [unsalted]
Whipped cream
Icing sugar
Chocolate syrup
Fresh Strawberries
Sugar
Vinegar [wine or white]
Good music c.d
Play a good album in the background. Thats rule number 1 to good cooking! Enjoy yourself!
Wash strawberries and slice them in nice round [julianne] slices.
Sprinkle sugar over them followed by the vinegar.
Reserve in Fridge for 30 min-1 hr.
*why? Well this is a great method to get sweet strawberries to accompany any desert since the vinegar helps the strawberries suck in all the sugar, and in this way the vinegar itself loses its bitter taste! Amazing right!!! Well its not science but a pretty cool kitchen experiment that works!*
Boil water in sufuria.
Put the chocolate in a a strong bowl, and place over a sufuria so that the chocolate may melt slowly in the bowl instead of microwaving it. Add butter to melt aswell.
In another bowl separate the yolk and the white in the eggs. Mix the egg yolks with the choc-butter mixture and once mixed,reserve in fridge.
Whisk the whites at a very high speed till they appear fluffy as clouds[ turn the bowl upside down, if it doesn’t pour out-it is at the cloud point-kitchen talk in Spanish-I hope it’s the same in English- lol]
Mix in reserved chocolate mixture till you have a nice creamy mousse, and return to fridge till serving time.
Whip some whipping cream with icing sugar in another bowl and serve it on the top however you'd prefer e.g in a bowl or a glass with the reserved strawberries and chocolate syrup to decorate on top.
SIMPLE!! VUALA!!
P.S This serves 5-8 people
