French Chocolate Mousse

        Hello readers! As you probably know from my previous posts, I have been trying to present a dish from a separate part of the world each time. So this time, I chose France.Today's dish is Chocolate Mousse. Before we get started however, I would like to say (write) a few things. In the right (right as in opposite of left, not right as in being correct) section of my blog, there is a big blue button that says join this site. If you follow the instructions from there, you can become an official chef! Let's get started!


    You will need:

  • One and a half cup of heavy cream
  • Six eggs (separated)
  • One half cup strong coffee or espresso
  • One third cup sugar
  • One forth cup orange liqueur
  • 18 oz. bittersweet chocolate chopped
Steps
  1. Take a saucepan and fill it with about an inch of water. Turn on the heat and let it simmer.
  2. Pour your chocolate, coffee/espresso, and sugar into a bowl. Stir thoroughly.
  3. Place your bowl on top of your pan. Stir frequently and take off heat when the chocolate has completely melted.
  4. Pour your egg whites into a bowl or mug and mix it with a hand mixer until stiff peaks begin to form.
  5. Take your hand mixer once more and stir the cream until it has a ribbon like look.
  6. Pour your egg yolks and liqueur into the chocolate. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  7. Put in your egg whites and stir again. Be careful: by the time it takes to get a smooth consistency, the egg whites will start making life difficult for you.
  8. Pour in the whipped cream and stir again. Remember: it is very important to get everything to a smooth consistency.
  9. Put your mousse into the refrigerator for about two to three hours. You can even leave it in the fridge for one hour depending on your taste of firmness. 
  10. Serve!

 I hope everyone enjoyed this recipe. Remember, the comments section is always open for advice, suggestions, or questions. Bye and keep coming for more mouth watering recipes!(the video is a little bit old)
