The BEST Chocolate Mousse Recipe

I love that you do dishes during the lull time. As a somewhat OCD cook, no matter what I am making, I always strive to have all the pots and pans cleaned by the time the food is ready. In contrast, whenever my wife cooks, the sink and counters are piled high with dirty pots and pans! 😊

LMAO... I'm not a Virgo but I like to chop the hell out of my chocolate (thanks John). I just feel like if it's not chopped into slivers it's just not done right 🤭 There's no way I'd be doing it stoned though. 1. I be afraid of cutting myself. 2. I don't get high (no judgment Ian)... Thanks for the laugh...

Hi John - Thank you for doing these videos. My son, 37 on the spectrum- watches you every morning. He saw this video and said, “Mom, John made chocolate mousse- watch! I want to make it because he said it was easy!” But he replicated your intonation when he used the words .. it’s easy- So, we made it. He and you were right and he was so proud of himself. Now, we must do the pumpkin bars and cinnamon rolls! So, thank you for these very well done videos that are easy to follow and help my young man feel good about cooking!

She said it sounds like pudding but I explained it doesn't quite coat the tongue like pudding does. I can't believe I haven't tried one recipe yet.

[@tomhamilton6158]

Holy Moly! I just made this and it was a was a big hit! This converted a mousse-hater into a fan! Itt was also fun to cook but had challenges. Here are the adjustments I made along the way: I home pasteurized my eggs, since one of my household is pregnant. I took my eye off the cream and it developed a little skin, but I was able to skim that out easily and salvage the cream. I had trouble with getting the whites to whisk, so I thought, why not just add the cream and whisk them together? It worked great! The mixture fluffed up and actually got stiff enough I had to whisk (rather than fold) it into the chocolate to fully incorporate. Despite the minor deviations, the outcome was 5 stars and will definitely be made again.

[@cvn699]

Can anyone tell me when he added the egg Yolk.. .?.?

[@tomhamilton6158]

@@cvn699 egg yolks get mixed directly with sugar. After the chocolate melts into the cream, and the cream is not too hot is when you add the yolky sugar into the chocolate. From there whip your whites, add to chocolate. Whip more cream, add to chocolate. Done.

The egg/sugar mixture is also the starting point for ice cream. I make a chocolate mousse frozen custard which uses 12 eggs, 3 cups of heavy cream, 3/4 cup sugar, 4 oz dark chocolate, and for extra flavor, 2 oz milk chocolate. SO creamy and rich! If you have an ice cream machine, John, I highly recommend making it!

[@Kyarrix]

More of these kinds of recipes would be great. This and the creme brulee are great examples of lower sugar higher healthy fat recipes. And for anyone who's wondering, yes heavy cream is fine and it's even better if it comes from grass-fed cows. So called vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats are not. **For those who are curious, the next lengthy paragraph explains about fats, if you're not interested please skip ahead to the paragraph after it. (Olive oil is good, the oils we should avoid are those commonly referred to as "heart healthy vegetable oils" that come from seeds or grains and are derived from sources that are not naturally oily. Corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, etc. These are hyper industrialized oils that are extracted with hexane and then heated, deodorized and processed to make them edible. They're extremely high in omega-6, and pro-inflammatory. They aren't heart healthy, they've never been healthy. There's a long story as to why the American Heart Association recommended them, too long for me to go into here but if anyone is curious I can provide the background. We need a certain amount of omega-6 but the American diet is much, much higher in omega-6 and we need more omega-3s. Pasture raised eggs have a lot of omega-3 relative to conventional eggs. The best sources of omega-3s are fish, wild caught salmon is great. If you aren't getting enough omega-3s you risk inflammation and all of the diseases that stem from it. Get yourself some high quality cod liver oil, keep it in the fridge and have some everyday. Or learn more about it and get it from food. I can provide sources for the information above to anyone responding.) Dark chocolate is healthy in moderation, as is heavy cream. The problems we run into are more related to carbohydrates especially when they are overprocessed and served in large amounts. This chocolate mousse is a perfect dessert. Like the creme brulee both have a lot of fat, no white flour and are low in sugar. Don't misunderstand, I love to bake with flour but these recipes make it much easier to maintain a low carb, high fat diet and still have dessert every once in a while. I apologize for the long aside, John. I love your channel and have made many of your recipes, all of which have been successful. Thank you for the inspiration.

Fun fact! In Belgium we - separate the eggs, beat the whites like you did, melt the chocolate over boiling water (au Bain Marie) then add the yolks one by one and combine it nicely then add that to the whites and mix in with a spatula or wooden spoon. No sugar, no cream. 😊

[@LeanneVlogzFilmz]

Oh nice! So if I'm reading this right, you can melt the chocolate, mix the yolks in one by one until combined and then fold in the whipped egg whites?

[@avatarwormette]

@@LeanneVlogzFilmz Yes, but be careful, first whip the whites, then melt the chocolate and add one by one yolk in until the chocolate is stiff enough. If you use less chocolate, maybe you can have one yolk over. Fold it right up in the whites, cause the chocolate will get stiff fast. It will not be as airy or creamy as the one from the video, but for people who love strong chocolate taste, this is really good.

Haven't made a chocolate mousse before but yesterday I made a silky filling for a chocolate cream pie. I used 2 oz of unsweetened chocolate and 5oz of bittersweet. It's a great tasting filling.

It's an extra step but I'd rather do it than take the chance of over whipping (breaking it or turning it into butter, lol). Thanks for the tip on how to pasteurize eggs. Can't wait to do that... 👍🏻

I really love this recipe! For the ganache I used 200ml milk 100ml cream mix and added one for egg white to help set. One thing that confuses me is that I didn't see you add the egg yolks to the mix. Am I going crazy? I replayed it 3 times and I only saw you put aside the egg yolks after talking about the custard fiend in you haha. My obvious question is do we fold the custard into the mix and at what stage is best to fold to minimize bubble destruction lol

[@ecevitkazim6978]

@@racquelaugat2179 I'm guessing while still warm as I have done this when making creme anglaise and no problem. I tried and the mousse turned out lovely. I recommend a light stirring so the egg yolks don't get cooked and mix. A light circular stir was enough.

[@ecevitkazim6978]

I should say how my replacement went with 200ml milk instead of cream. It made the mixture too light and so I added one more egg yolk. The finish was just barely holding together but still delicious. Next time, I will only replace 100ml milk instead of cream with 3 eggs and no egg white. This should create a lighter mixture which in Asia is preferred over the rich cream mixtures.

a hint of vanilla extract, a brandy reduction with 1 or 2 sheets of gelatin, orange zest (it is amazing), i've tried a lot of things, but my favourite is a brandy reduction with a sheet or 2 of gelatin, it makes the mousse firmer and gives that hint of brandy that pairs perfectly with dark chocolate...
