To make (dark chocolate) Mousse:
40gms egg yolks
30gms castor sugar
30gms water
170gms dark chocolate melted
300gms heavy cream
30gms castor sugar
30gms water
170gms dark chocolate melted
300gms heavy cream
Beat egg yolks till pale and frothy. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan till 118degrees Celsius.(use a candy thermometer) Whip the hot syrup in a slow stream into the egg yolks, whipping continuously till it cools. Fold melted chocolate into the egg mixture. It will form a thick and gooey sauce. Whip the cream in an electric mixer till soft peaks form. Whip one third of the cream into the chocolate to loosen the mixture and fold the remaining cream in till well combined. Pour into desired cups/containers and refrigerate for several hours till set.
There's just something about a creamy, smooth and indulgent pot of chocolate which takes our breath away. You can't deny that smirk across your face as you devour a thick scoop of delightful luxury.
I personally love my mousse in tiny portion cups. I see them as guilt free hints of a delicious treat. A little mousse occasionally never hurt nobody. *grin*
But of course mousse does sometimes come in handy in large portions. For when a dear friend winds up having the worst day... there's nothing like a tub of creamy chocolate and 2 spoons to help make her day.

Oh another recipe, thanks so much Su yin..always look forward to try out your recipes even though I can't make as good as you. :D
Hehehe comfort mousse :)
Exactly how many eggs make 40g of egg yolks? I don't have a scale at home (I really should get one...)
Hi Su,
Can i use Thickened Cream or just normal whipping cream (such as President Cream) to replace the heavy cream?? I can only find Thickened cream and normal whipping cream here...
Pls advise, thanks much...

Thanks & rgds,

I choose a fun, swanky and cool mousse with a comforting touch ^^! Yuummmmm!
Oh how moussy!
Love your photos always.
I love how you've themed the mousse presentations and included "comfort" as an option. You can get dressed up and go out or just stay at home and curl up with a cup. =D
Oh yum!
I'll have the comfort one thanks.. =P
Looks great! Just a question before I run off to make these. Don't the egg yolks cook and coagulate when you pour in the boiling water into the egg mix??
Thanks!!
