SchoklasMousse

Mousse au Chocolat

luxembourgish family reciepe

Quantities for 4 persons (or one, if you are like me):

• 150g Block Chocolate (dark chocolate, don't use too fancy one, but rather the kind used for deserts. Lindt 50/50 51% cooking 'smooth' + 70% cooking 'intense')
• 100g sugar
• 80g butter (not margarine)
• 4 eggs (keep them cold in the fridge)

You will need 3 bowls (small, medium, big) and a serving bowl.

split the eggs and beat the eggwhite in the big bowl into snow. Beat it like hell so it becomes like concrete (well almost).

mix the egg yolks in the middle bowl and add the sugar, continue to mix until it becomes light yellow

use hot water where you put the small bowl with the chocolate in and wait until melted (bain marie). You can use the microwave (add 3 tablespoons of water, heat for 1.5 minutes) but you risk to burn the chocolate.

cut the butter into thick slices and mix with the molten chocolate until it's completely molten

Pour the chocolate-butter mix into the egg yolk and stir shortly

lift the egg snow under the whole mixture. do not do this too much, just until you don't see any white spots anymore.

Pour into the serving bowl cover with cling film and put for at least 4 hours in the fridge.

Optional you can decorate with the Lindt Thins.

You will love it!
