Chocolate Mousse

[Al Baitel 'ateeq]

Here's a dessert i made today for the first time and it is extremely simple.

Ingredients
4 eggs [separated]
125g dark chocolate
1 cup cream [whipped]
Strawberries for serving

Method
1 - Melt chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted.

2 - Cool the chocolate slightly, then blend in the egg yolks one at a time. Beat until the mixture is smooth and thick.

3 - Fold in the whipped cream.

4 - Fold in the firmly beaten egg whites.

5 - Spoon into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm. Serve with strawberries.

NB: Makes 4 generous servings.

So you add raw egg?

[Al Baitel 'ateeq]

Too bad that was your last breath mhussain. I guess i'll hand over the choc mousse to Meme.

Btw i would 'assume' that if you substitute the dark choc, with white choc, it may also work.

[Al Baitel 'ateeq]

So you add raw egg?

Yes raw egg sis.

[UmmNRZ]

Hmmm.. I remember Khaled attempted to make chocolate mousse once when I was at his house, I didnt taste it for obvious reasons.. (the most obvious reason being the fact that he made it)

watch the cholesterol girls.. many skinny ppl have heart probs

thats when the exercise comes in lol. even though coming up the stairs is like running a 2000 km marathon according to my body. im so unhealthy.

[khadija]

excercies doesnt get rid of cholesterol per se

i was actually reffering to burning fat even though i quoted u.
just for the record it is always recommended to eat healthy food and do exercise if a person sufferes from high cholesterol.

when u say firmly beaten whites of an egg, does it mean beating it till soft peaks form?

I made this not long ago, and it looked nothing like chocolate mousse.. I don't know where I went wrong..

[SuBMiSSioN]

Being in the kitchen in the first place Lena.. that's where you went wrong

[Al Baitel 'ateeq]

when u say firmly beaten whites of an egg, does it mean beating it till soft peaks form?

That's correct sis.

I made this not long ago, and it looked nothing like chocolate mousse.. I don't know where I went wrong..

Was the chocolate all lumpy? If so, then you let the chocolate cool down too much. I actually made some choc. mousse today - any idea who's eating it tomorrow SuBMiSSioN? :P - first i beat the egg whites and the cream and had them ready, and THEN i melted the chocolate, let it cool down just a tad and then continued with the recipe. If you let the chocolate cool down too much it goes all lumpy.

[SuBMiSSioN]

Oh yum,that means no need for me to bother making it

[SuBMiSSioN]

Masha-Allah ... laa quwwata illa billah.

Does that mean i can serve you a double deal of choc mousse if you ever come over?

Btw I got the ingrediants today, so you're making it for me, tomorrow I think?? lol
