Description

Sauté, fry n bake has introduced me to so many people. Saranya velu is one among them who is a follower of sauté, fry m bake. I got to meet her in person for the second anniversary recipe swap of sauté, fry n bake. A silent person but a true blue foodie who loves chocolate like I do . She got these chocolate mousse. I kept eyeing these jewels hoping I get left over’s to relish latter. Shameless me relished it way too much for days after the recipe swap with enjoying my moments of having it just for myself not wanting to share it with anyone. There’s a reason why chocolate is so universally loved. It’s delicious. This flavor making power can instantly elevate almost any dessert from good to mmm.. Make this mousse and sure you will end up shameless like me too.

• Add sugar and eggs in a bowl. Fill a saucepan with 1″ water and heat on medium flame. Once the water starts to boil bring down the flame and place the eggs and sugar bowl over the simmering water and use a whisk to keep whisking the egg mixture.
• Keep whisking until the mixture heats upto a bearable temperature and check with your finger.

• Melt the dark chocolate and allow to cool.
• In a seperate bowl beat the whipping cream until the cream softens and add a tablespoon of sugar and beat on medium speed until there is no trace of sugar left. Beat until stiff peaks.
