White & dark chocolate mousse - no raw eggs

Thank you #Noom for sponsoring today’s video! Go to noom.com/ragusea and take your free 30-second quiz.
My preview video about how a little fat will mess up egg foams: • You really can't whip ...
**RECIPE, SERVES FOUR**
4oz (113g) solid eating chocolate
2 eggs
2/3 cup (160mL) cream (plus more to whip for garnish if you want)
1/3 cup (67g) sugar (plus a little more, potentially)
a watery liquid (water, milk, coffee, booze, etc - amaretto is especially nice)
corn syrup
vanilla
cream of tartar
Get the chocolate melting in a small pot over gentle heat. Crack the eggs into a heat-safe mixing bowl, fish out the yolks and whisk them into the melted chocolate. Loosen up this chocolate mixture with enough of your watery liquid to make it whisk-able, about 1/4 cup (60mL) but it'll depend on the kind of chocolate you're using. If you're using very dark chocolate and an unsweetened liquid, you might want to stir in an extra teaspoon or two of sugar.
Whisk and cook the chocolate mixture until you see the egg yolks just starting to coagulate and thicken. If you're not sure, stop whisking for a sec and see of the mixture bubbles gently - if it does, you've gotten it hot enough. Transfer to a bowl to cool and get the pot soaking n the sink - you'll need it again.
In a different bowl, whip the cream until stiff, then stir in a splash of vanilla. Wash the whisk or the beaters or whatever you used, along with the pot.
Return to the pot to the stove with about 1/3 cup (60mL) water in it. Stir in the sugar and a glug of corn syrup to inhibit crystallization. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the syrup reaches 240ºF, 116ºC. While you wait, put a pinch of cream of tartar in the eggs and beat to stiff peaks.
When the syrup is at the target temperature, carefully drizzle it into the egg whites as you continue you beating them. The eggs will cook and start to go glossy. Keep beating for a few minutes until the meringue cools down and is only lukewarm to the touch.
Beat the cooled chocolate mixture into the meringue until smooth. Beat in the whipped cream for just a minute, until it's time to scrape down the bowl. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula and use gentle folding to get the mixture homogenous. Pour the mousse into serving glasses and chill before serving.
If you want, you could turn around and do it all again with a different chocolate (white instead of dark, for example) and pour that contrasting flavor on top of the one you first made, for a layered effect.
Once chilled, garnish with whipped cream or shaved chocolate or both or neither.

I actually wouldn't use orange juice for this, and I LOVE the combination of orange and chocolate. Imo that's a combo that works best when you're using mainly the aromatic component of the orange for flavor, i.e., the oils in the zest, as opposed to the juice, which mainly just contributes acid, and the combination of chocolate with specifically citric acid is what I think turns a lot of people off. I would use a different liquid, but then add a few drops of orange extract or a couple teaspoons of freshly grated orange zest.

[@AllTheArtsy]

I'd definitely go for Grand Marnier or Cointreau and extra orange zest. Any sort of extract taste fake and overbearing to me even with the most conservative amount

[@pennyfarting]

@@AllTheArtsy I didn't even think of orange liqueurs somehow, you're absolutely right that that's probably the way to go. Only thing is you might have to adjust the amount of sugar since they're usually quite sweet.

If you're layering these, you can also put these in the fridge at an angle after doing the first layer, especially in a brandy glass like that. It'll look really cool in the end when pouring on the second layer normally.

I was thinking the same thing, but the glass has to be held at an angle when filling the first layer so that it keeps a clean line. You would probably want to build some kind of rack to fill 'em and chill 'em.

This line at the end really sits well with me and I respect the self jab, often times when someone has a negative reaction to something and then tells everyone as such, it can be a little off putting to hear, makes me not want to try fruit with chocolate, but then I already know I like Orange and Chocolate, despite hearing others say they don't.

You can make a really simple (incidentally vegan) version of a chocolate mousse by chilling a can of coconut cream (not coconut milk), spooning out only the solid parts on the top the next day, and then whipping it with powdered sugar and then cocoa powder. Not as fancy as your recipe seems to be (and it looks really good!), but it’s suprisingly good for how easy it is to make.

You should try some Valhronna or Lindt white chocolate someday, they taste suuuper good ('cause they're way less sweet obviously) Or any quality brand of chocolate I guess, those are just the ones I can find easily - the point is I don't like the oversweet white chocolate bars either

I have a chocolate mousse recipe that is pretty amazing and doesn't use any eggs. It's decently stable while in the fridge, but not too well if you leave it out. It's basically whipped cream with chocolate mixed in. We use it daily at my restaurant, a can't go wrong recipe if you ask me The recipe for anyone who cares to know: 50ml of a liqou of your choice. 100ml of 20% fat cooking cream (idk what people around the world have, but any cream close to 20% fat will work. 120 grams of dark chocolate, preferably 54% cocoa 250ml of whipping cream. Preferably 40% fat, but 35% will work. 1. Bring the liqour and 100ml cooking cream to a boil. Boil out any alcohol if you want to. 2. Take of the heat, dump in all your chocolate and stir until melted. 3. In a separate bowl whip up the 250ml of whipping cream untill the thickness of yoghurt. Don't overwhip it, as this will make your mousse really dense in the end. Let your chocolate mix cool down. You'll know it's cooled down enough when you can dip your finger in and press it to your lip without it feeling warm anymore. 4. With a SPATULA, not a whisk, fold the chocolate mixture through the whipping cream. It should still be liquid enough for you to poor into containers if you want. When all combined let cool in the fridge for at least am hour and enjoy

[@aaronb1195]

This also works by replacing your first three ingredients with Nutella. It helps to add a small amount of whipped cream to the Nutella at first, to thin it out a little bit, before adding the rest of the cream. This prevents the cream from deflating while trying to mix in the heavy Nutella.

[@A_Casual_NPC]

@@aaronb1195 guess that would be true, but why would you want to do that? Haha I don't need to add fake hazelnut flavour and a bunch of sugar to my chocolate mousse

[@ctown1978]

I made Niels recipe and it came out really well. The mousse reminded me of thicker mousse sandwiched between cake layers. I couldn't find light cream at any supermarket so I mixed half and half and heavy whipping cream to make 20% fat cooking cream. The chocolate was 70% cocoa. I substituted bourbon for the liqueur. I added 1/8 cup of sugar to the whipping cream and I stopped at the first signs of soft peaks. The folding took forever. I absolutely recommend this recipe. At this point, I'm not sure when is the best time to add the 1/8 cup sugar. Any suggestions?

I make "chocolate mousse" by adding unsweetened baker's chocolate to zabaglione. The zabaglione (sabayon} is simply one-half eggshell of sugar + one-half eggshell of marsala wine + one egg yolk (no whites) x number of guests (one egg yolk per guest) whisked (using a flat spiral whisk) over very low heat until it firms up, about five minutes of continuous whisking. Zabaglione + melted chocolate = mousse. Works every time, takes about 15 minutes start to finish. It's a great party trick when invited for dinner at someone else's home if you bring your own whisk. Any sweet wine will do.

[@benciliberto8706]

[@neixom]

Just like orange juice goes well with the dark/milk chocolate, lemon goes really well with the white chocolate. White chocolate is super sweet and the lemon helps balance it out with its sour taste, and the lemon taste itself also gives more complexity to the simple white chocolate

[@doximanman]

It's important to note a few things: When making the syrup, it should be made with a pan or a pot that can be held with one hand, since it is hard to beat it into the meringue when you have to use both hands to hold the pot. And make sure to use a thermometer for the syrup, I was waiting to see it boiling but it wasn't enough since there was water still in there.

[@SuperCanteloupe]

why not whip the egg whites first before the cream? that way you don't need to wash the beaters between bowls (cream will whip okay with a little egg white left on but not vice versa), it gives the meringue extra time to cool down, and you can pull the cream from the fridge at a later moment just when you need it to ensure that it stays colder too (colder cream whips better and it's further insurance against it melting).

[@aragusea]

Because egg white foams aren't that stable. Better to whip them right before the syrup goes in, if you have a choice. Also, you don't want the meringue to have extra time to cool down - it'll harden and you won't be able to mix in the other stuff as smoothly. The only reason I'm able to get away with keeping it so cool in this video is that I never stop agitating it.

This is seriously fascinating. Mousse au chocolat is one of the quickest deserts to make. You transformed it instead into a huge ordeal. Only question is: Why? Just to avoid raw eggs? Is that a huge problem in the US?

[@aragusea]

As I said in the video, I also prefer the taste and texture. No, there's no firm evidence that raw eggs are a bigger health hazard in the U.S. compared to, say, Europe, but they do present some risk, and some people are just grossed out by them. [EDIT] Oh, and also, this version is more stable in the fridge. The classic starts to break down after about a day. This version would probably last a week in the fridge.

I don't think there is actual evidence as to whether the American way of processing eggs results in more health hazards, but Americans really hate raw eggs for some reason, every American cook will either avoid or warn about eating raw eggs even in the smallest amounts, like trying dough, whereas in other countries this ofter isn't a concern at all. They are also very much afraid of eating chicken they haven't measured the temperature of, because of a possible salmonella contamination.

Yes. Despite what you may hear, there are many "problem places" in the US where storebought eggs are basically toxic instant-death-liquid until you cook them. It's extremely annoying for recipes that involve raw eggs.

@@bunnydoriya it’s (at least partially) because U.S. health authorities have done far more messaging on egg and meat safety to avoid outbreaks that would be injurious to the meat and egg industries. This has had the incidental effect of making Europeans believe that U.S. meat and eggs are much more dangerous, when there is no good (public) evidence to support that belief.

[@bunnydoriya]

@@aragusea No, totally agree on that, I know there is no evidence as to one or the other way of processing produces more hazard, and you're right, that is a common misconception among Europeans. It's just that I sometimes think there is almost a public anxiety over the potential of a salmonella infection in the US, something that most Europeans don't even consider when eating eggs or chicken meat.

Why not use a double boiler for the chocolate/egg mixture? That should help prevent any scorching or curdling

I'm definitely going to make this to impress a lady friend when I invite her over for dinner.

[@treacherousviper]

[@yellowbanana9866]

[@spike1992]

Hello! My first comment so I'll start with : Thanks for your videos, really enjoying their practical and scientifical focuses! Regarding this video, 2 things come to mind : 1) I'm no professional, so I suggest maybe asking a chiropractor, but : at 2:30 where you are doing your squats/stretches I think you are forcing your left knee(visible one at least). From my limited experience(qi-gung/taiji-quan area) I know that the foot should be pointing the same way as the knee, in order to not stress the knee when bending it. Worth checking out. 2) Suggestion for not getting the chocolate on the counter - get in on a baking sheet/tray, gather it and use it as garnish as well

[@Mote.]

So satisfying to watch. Thank you Adam for the great vids

[@brokensoulministries4534]

I'm right there with you Adam. Don't fruit the beer, don't fruit the chocolate. Or add mint! But that's me. You do you.

[@johnscanlan9335]

Adam this looks like an amazingly perfect dessert for dinner parties! Instead of Amoretto, what would you recommend to use as a non-alcoholic replacement?

[@davidmelgar1197]

Not Adam, but a good orgeat might work (almond syrup, basically). Lots of recipes online, but a lot of brands are making quality ones too. I would just be mindful that it'll probably have more sugar than the amaretto, so you might want to reduce sugar elsewhere.

[@muhilan8540]

just water and almond extract probably

[@johnscanlan9335]

@@muhilan8540 Oh that's a good idea!

To avoid chocolate all over the counter when you grate it, try holding the grater at a very high angle, then the chocolate only falls straight down and it doesn't matter where on the grater you are actually grating.
