🍫✨ MOUSSE AU CHOCOLAT ✨🍫

A simple, rich, and airy chocolate mousse made with 100% cacao tableya 🤎

📝 INGREDIENTS:
• 100 g 100% cacao tableya
• Sugar (adjust to taste, our recommendation : 50-70g)
• 3 eggs, separated
• 1 tbsp milk or water
• A pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 RECIPE:

1. Break the tableya into small pieces and melt gently in a bain-marie.
2. Add the sugar and 1 tbsp of milk or water. Stir until smooth.
3. Remove from the heat and let the chocolate cool for about 5–10 minutes. It should be warm, not hot.
4. Transfer the chocolate to a large mixing bowl, then mix in the egg yolks one at a time.
5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric whisk. Start on low speed, then increase to medium-high. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
6. Add ⅓ of the whipped egg whites to the chocolate and mix gently to loosen the mixture.
7. Add the remaining egg whites and carefully fold them in with a spatula using a lifting and turning motion. Don't overmix, you want to keep all that air!
8. Divide into small glasses or cups.
9. For a quick mousse, chill in the freezer for 15–20 minutes, then enjoy! ❄️🍫
10. After the quick 15-20 mins, transfer the mousse to the fridge for at least 1-2 hrs for a firmer texture. For the best texture, leave it overnight.

If you want to eat it right away, the freezer method works, but it will be softer than a traditionally chilled mousse

✨ Tip: Since 100% cacao is very bitter, taste the chocolate mixture before folding in the egg whites and adjust the sugar to your liking.
