“Chocolate.” It’s simply not just a word but a syllable that can literally make you drool and transport you to one of your fondest memories with the treat. Be it a chocolate bar, an ingredient to a dessert, or its molten presence to garnish another sweet treat, chocolate in any of its forms is hard to say no to.
So, when there’s a chocolate adaptation of each dessert, it’s only fair to celebrate a day dedicated to the melt-in-mouth confectionery, isn’t it? This World Chocolate Day, why don’t you go beyond enjoying a chocolate bar and open new ways of extreme indulgence? Here are some of the best mousse recipes that you must try to celebrate.
Classic Chocolate Mousse
The classic chocolate mousse is usually made with dark chocolate. But you can use either milk chocolate or a combination of both, depending on your preference. Using the chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract, you can quickly whip up the classic chocolate mousse. Just remember to wait for it to set in the refrigerator before serving.
Dark Chocolate Ganache Mousse
If you are looking for an extremely indulgent chocolate dessert, there’s nothing better than chocolate ganache mousse. To make it, you can melt some dark chocolate using a double boiler or in a microwave. Then, you can mix it with hot cream. Finally, fold the hot chocolate mixture in whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate chips or a sliced fruit, and you’re done.
White Chocolate And Berry Mousse
For people who like to add a touch of fruit to their dessert, white chocolate and mousse berries would be perfect for celebrating World Chocolate Day. To make this fruity mousse, you can mix melted white chocolate whipped whipped cream. Then, chop your favourite berries and fold them in the mousse. You can then refrigerate and garnish with some more berries and enjoy.
Caramel And Coffee Mousse
If you like to have a little hint of caramel or coffee flavours, you should give caramel and coffee mousse a try. To make this mousse, you can either use white chocolate or milk chocolate. After mixing the melted chocolate with whipped cream, you can add a freshly brewed shot of expresso with caramel sauce. Garnish with whipped cream and crushed coffee beans for a richer flavour.
Boozy Chocolate Mousse
This World Chocolate Day, if the adults are partying with a rich chocolate mousse, you can even take it a step forward by adding some booze to the classic recipe. You can use clear spirits while mixing chocolate with cream. But make sure that you’re not adding too much alcohol, as it can give a bitter taste to the mousse. Garnish with a lemon wedge or orange peel to make the most of the spiked dessert.
