hi everyone I’m Emma and welcome to
another recipe lesson at English today
is my brother’s birthday and I am making
him a sweet lovely thick rich decadent
dessert that you are going to love as
well today I’m going to show you how to
make chocolate mousse oh yes
chocolate mousse
okay let’s have a look at what we need
to make our chocolate mousse we need 200
grams of dark chocolate I’ve got two
packets here of 100 grams we need some
double cream so this is different to
regular cream that you can buy this is
double cream so it’s a bit thicker and a
bit richer than regular cream 2 eggs
some vanilla extract or vanilla pods if
you have them 2 tablespoons of castor
sugar a this is a small amount of butter
that actually we call a knob of butter
so this is a knob of butter we need a
little bit of sea salt just like a pinch
of sea salt and the orange and the
strawberries are for decorating and
serving later so I’ll put them aside for
now we need 3 bowls so we have 1 glass
bowl that I’m going to put inside the
saucepan this is where we’ll melt our
chocolate I have a smaller Bowl for
whisking the egg whites and this larger
bowl a bit nicer bowl will serve our
chocolate mousse in we also need a whisk
very important when we’re whisking our
egg whites and we also need a spatula
all right let’s get started we’re going
to start with our chocolate and it is
very important that you follow these
instructions when melting chocolate okay
so we need to take our saucepan and put
about an inch of water in the bottom not
too much
so we’ve got our water in the bottom and
we’re going to put our bowl on top so
the bowl shouldn’t touch the bottom of
the pan okay so we don’t want the bowl
on the bottom of the pan we want it just
at the top of the water we need to break
up our chocolate blocks so you can smash
and bash or break it a little bit more
nicely then we need to put the chocolate
into the saucepan we need to add our
knob of butter and a pinch of our sea
salt now we’re going to put our saucepan
and our ingredients on the stove
slowly stir while it melts
while the chocolate is on the stove and
it’s melting we’re going to get the
cream ready put the cream into the nice
serving bowl the big serving bowl so
that’s 300 mils of cream all of it goes
in then add in our sugar so we’ve got
two tablespoons of castor sugar add that
in and about a teaspoon of the vanilla
extract
then we’re going to whisk our
ingredients together with our whisk okay
so we’ve got a noun and a verb we’re
whisking with our whisk let’s go
okay there is a trick to the eggs I’m
sure you’ve done this before I’m not
very good at it but we’re going to try
we need our Bowl and I’ve got just a
second bowl as well to help we need to
separate our eggs okay so we need to
take the yellow part the yolk away from
the white part the egg white I’m not
very good at doing this but we’re going
to try anyway so I’m going to collect
the yolk here and the white in here okay
good good good so we just want to throw
it from side to side to try and get all
of the white away from the yolk okay so
now we’ve got our egg yolk anut egg
whites separate we went to bring our
cream our sugary cream back and add the
yolks and we’ll just whisk it in just to
help thicken it up
okay so here’s our chocolate it is ready
to go into our cream mixture so let’s
get that back over here
alright it’s nice and thick we want to
add it slowly to the mix stirring as we
go okay now we don’t want to leave any
of that delicious chocolate in there
so try and get as much out as I can stir
it through so it’s well mixed
and we’ll need to whisk our egg whites
okay so we’re done we just want to add
our egg whites these are called soft
peaks you’ll often see that in recipes
you want to get your egg whites to be
soft peaks peak like a mountain so
gently fold all of this in together if
you’d like to add a liquor to your
mousse then now is the time to do it so
maybe something like brandy Frangelico
so that is all nicely combined just
flatten it or smooth it across the top
so that it’s nice and even okay so
here’s our mousse it’s looking delicious
that lovely rich thick dark color we’re
just going to put it in the fridge for a
few hours to set before it’s ready okay
I’m trying really hard not to eat this
before I give it to my brother but it
just looks so good
you’ve got the lovely bright colors of
the fruit underneath and the rich thick
chocolate on top I need to put that down
otherwise I’m going to eat it I want you
to try this at home
consider it homework try it at home and
send me your pictures of your chocolate
mousse I want to see it tell me what it
tastes like and tell me if your friends
and family are impressed for more videos
I want you to go straight back to
YouTube subscribe to my channel give me
a big thumbs up big like and I hope I’ll
see you again soon for some more videos
