Chocolate Mousse for all! hehe

[NJ Mike]

Well now, we got the mickey cookbooks (vol 1 & 2) off ebay a few weeks ago, and I have been meaning to post the recipe for y'all.

So, with today being a semi-significant day for me, i figured i would share the presents lol.

I cant bring you all chocolate mousse, but heres the next best thing:

So heres the real deal "official" recipe.

Chocolate Mousse
Boulangerie Patisserie - France EPCOT Center
Yield : 3 cups

5 Ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar

Melt Chocolate in a double boiler over warm water. Remove from heat.
Combine egg yolks and cream and gradually add chocolate, stirring rapidly.
Then Add vanilla.
Beat egg whites and sugar (in a seperate bowl) until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold egg whites into choclate mixture.
Spoon mousse into decorative mold or individual serving glasses and chill until firm (about 2 hours).

Thats it, pretty simple recipe. I think the key lies in the chocolate, so we're going to experiment with several brands. hehe

I had to change a few words before i sent it to my brother. Well first i had to multiply all the ingredients by 20, and replace "individual serving glasses" with the words "55 gallon drum".

I still recommend stopping into France when you get down there, but at least this should help a bit until then.

You are so mean . . .

You mean THE "Shocolate Mousssse"??
Thanks for THE recipe, I will definitely try it!

You might consider consulting Cook's Illustrated magazine to see if they've reviewed semi-sweet chocolate brands. I know I saw a review of unsweetened chocolates once. They basically prepare a recipe with various brands and then rate them. It's a great resource.

When you're done, can you send me some please?

[DisneyMomof2]

Thanks NJMIKE can't wait to try it!!

Hope your enjoying your birthday...

All this talk of shocolatte mousssse reminds me of a high school project my buddy and I did for French class. We made up a batch of shocolatte moussse for the class -- went over pretty well.

It wasn't until I read your post that I remembered doing the same sort of thing, but the whole class went to the Home Ec rooms and made it as an in-class project. The recipe we were using called for "strong coffee" and since all we had was instant, and nobody was a big coffee drinker (this was pre-Starbucks), we ended up making it WAYYY too strong and the mousse ended up being too coffee flavored.

Thanks, Mike! (Now I just have to figure out how many WW Points this is!)

Thank you sis lol.

I could bring you some, but today I'm wearing my hockey mask, jeans, and flannel shirt around the house to freak the neighbors out. Hope you don't mind.

Don't worry folks, Mikey's actually pretty accurate - not mean.
If you've ever seen us (just ask poor Kadheil) - you'd soon realize that the term "individual serving" does not apply in our world. 55 gallon drum is fairly accurate, but what are you gonna have Mikey? (I'm not sharin').


Happy Birthday BONEHEAD - oh, and may the Moussse be with you.

(you're gettin' old)

[passthepixiedust]

Mmmm.... I could eat a 55 gallon drum all to myself! The mousse in "France" may be the single best thing I have ever eaten....

Sorry folks, this thread is over 2 years old. If you would like to talk more about the famous mousse, please start a new thread. Thanks.
