This chocolate mousse by Santin is pure lust. And we can never thank Maurizio Santin enough for having perfected it. Because it is so damn delicious and so easy to make.
Everyone who tastes it becomes a slave to it…So I really don’t know how you can still sit there with your hands in your pockets.
Ingredients for four people:
- 100 g 60% dark chocolate
- 100 ml fresh liquid cream
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 80 g fresh liquid cream to whip
Finely chop the chocolate with a knife or mixer and put it in a large pot.
Separately, heat the cream (it must be hot but not boiling) with the two tablespoons of powdered sugar until it is all well melted and remove from the heat.
Add the hot cream to the chocolate, stirring continuously until you obtain a liquid and homogeneous mixture (the chocolate must melt perfectly). Leave to cool – cool.
Separately, whip the cream until stiff. Incorporate it slowly into the chocolate mixture (no longer hot)
and mix very delicately from top to bottom, so as not to deflate it, until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Pour into cups or glasses and let them cool in the fridge for a few hours, or freeze them for the first occasion… then just remember to put them in the fridge a little before…
To decorate use a small praline, or a small piece of brittle…. you will make a great impression!
You will even lick the spoon… guaranteed.
You can also make it with different chocolates (white or milk for example) with the same preparation. If you make it in layers, be careful to wait until the first layer has cooled a little in the fridge (and has formed a thin film) before pouring the second layer.
