Chocolate Mousse

This dessert is  simple to make. It´s silky smooth with the right balance of bitter and sweet. It is served on a crunchy, nutty brownie-like base which gives contrast to the velvety smooth mousse. This recipe serves four.
*Recipe from Chalet´s Chef Jochen Kern´s recent Malaysia International Gourmet Festival menu. 



Ingredients:
60g egg yolks
60g eggs (with whites this time)
188g dark chocolate
44g sugar
a pinch of instant coffee
16g gelatine powder
2.4 litres whipping cream 

Method:
Whisk all the eggs and sugar until fluffy.
Melt the dark chocolate.

Whip the cream.

  2. To dissolve powdered gelatine, sprinkle it into a small bowl or cup containing 3 tablespoons of hot water, stirring constantly, then place the bowl into a container of boiling water and stir constantly until completely dissolved and transparent. NEVER boil the gelatine mixture.
