Chocolate mousse/ Mousse au chocolat
Julia Child did use tropical ingredients in her recipes? This is her luscious chocolate mousse recipe.
Serves 4
1. Beat the egg yolks and sugar together until mixture is thick, pale yellow and falls back upon itself forming a slowly dissolving ribbon. Beat in the orange liqueur.
2. Then set mixing bowl over the not-quite-simmering water and continue beating for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is foamy and too hot for your finger.
3. Then beat over cold water for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is cool and again forms the ribbon. It will have the consistency of mayonnaise.
4. Melt chocolate with coffee over hot water. Remove from heat and beat in the butter a bit at a time, to make a smooth cream. Beat the chocolate into the egg yolks and sugar, then beat in the optional orange peel.
5. Beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks are formed; sprinkle on the sugar and beat until stiff peaks are formed. Stir one fourth of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the rest.
6. Turn into serving dish or dessert cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight
7.Serve with the whipped cream
