- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 egg whites at room temperature
- 10 egg yolk at room temperature
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
For make the chocolate mousseThe first thing we should keep in mind is to slowly boil water in a saucepan over medium heat. We will have to place a container on it and add the chopped chocolate along with the butter. We stir from time to time so that it melts. When we have it, we remove it and let it cool.
We beat the egg yolks with two tablespoons of sugar in a bowl that we will place over the pot of water that is still on the heat until the mixture takes a temperature of 70ºC. We remove it and put it in the mixer to beat until the mixture is pale yellow in color and looks thick. We added this to the chocolate that was cooling.
Then we will have to beat the egg whites until it looks like foam. We will have to add sugar in a constant and slow stream. We add this to the previous mixture little by little, we cover it and let chill at least 8 hours.
