Raspberry and Chocolate Mousse
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Place 8 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 large egg yolks until pale and thick. Gradually pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Add 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
- To assemble the mousse, spoon a layer of the raspberry sauce into the bottom of serving glasses. Top with a layer of the chocolate mousse. Repeat the layers, finishing with a dollop of raspberry sauce on top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy!
