Chocolate Mousse
A classic dessert, simple but phenomenal - although I knew and saw it everywhere I never tried to make it and I never tasted it. I did it now because I wanted to try something with the Cointreau liqueur I recently bought.
About the taste - it has a silky texture and you will be sorry that it ends quickly. I was surprised by the texture, the taste and the aroma - I already repeat it periodically when I want something simple, fast but also special, more refined. A big plus of the recipe is that it does not contain many fats (only those from cocoa butter), relatively little sugar - but a minus - that they are raw eggs. For me it is not a problem, as they are from a reliable source, but they can be replaced with quail eggs.
I understood that there are still recipes of this type without eggs, I still haven't found one that will tempt me, but I promise you that I won't stop searching and testing.

Step by step
Step 1
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a steam bath or microwave.
Step 2
Mix to a uniform texture and set aside.
Step 3
Separate the egg whites from the yolks in 2 different bowls.
Step 4
Whisk the egg whites with a little salt - after they have beaten well, add a little sugar.
Step 5
Add melted chocolate to the yolks, mix well with the mixer.
Step 6
Pour the 2 tablespoons of water ...
Step 7
... and liqueur (if you put it) - mix well with the mixer.
Step 8
Add the chocolate composition to the egg whites and mix gently with movements from top to bottom.
Step 9
It must be uniform and smooth.
Step 10
Pour it into glasses and serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 11
After it stays in the fridge, it hardens and you can serve it with a little whipped cream on top or with a little sweetness - I had raspberries.
I noticed that it has a darker color if I use better quality dark chocolate, there is not much difference in taste.
Good appetite!
