This recipe was given to me by an old flatmate who is also an artist. She prepares the most wonderful food, and this chocolate mouse always gets rave reviews. Make sure to use parve chocolate and parve margarine for the mousse to be parve. Thanks Liora!
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs – separated, discard one of the yolks (leaving 6 whites and 5 yolks)
- 8 ounces (250 grams) of good quality bittersweet chocolate, parve
- 1 ounce (25 grams) margarine, parve
- 1 teaspoon coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water
- 1 tablespoon of liquor of your choosing (optional)
Preparation:
1. Place the chocolate and margarine in a double boiler. As they begin to melt, add the coffee mixture.
2. Meanwhile whisk the egg whites until stiff.
3. Once the chocolate and margarine have melted, turn off the flame and add the egg yolks and liquor mixing well.
4. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites with a metal spoon, being careful not to beat.
5. Put the mixture into a deep Pyrex dish. Refrigerate until set.
