Quick and Easy Delightful Mousse au Chocolat
Ingredients
4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup superfine sugar + 2 packets of vanilla sugar
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
4 tablespoons coffee (Swiss Mocha-General Foods, International
Coffees)
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
pinch salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Method
Beat the egg yolks, superfine sugar, and vanilla sugar until
thick and pale yellow. Add the Grand Marnier and let it rest
for a few minutes. Melt the chocolate with coffee and butter
in the microwave for about two minutes and stir until smooth
and creamy. Beat chocolate mixture into the yolk mixture.
Beat the egg whites and salt until stiff, sprinkle on the
sugar and beat until glossy. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the
chocolate to lighten the mixture and gently fold in the rest.
Put it in a crystal bowl and refrigerate for a few hours or
over night.
