Chilli chocolate mousse – a fiery twist!
Prep Time: 0.01 Hours
Total Time: 1 Hours
Servings: 4 Person(s)
Ingredients:
100g granulated sugar
2 tbsp water
30g butter
1 pinch sea salt
200 ml double cream
50g Angus & Oink chilli chocolate
50g dark chocolate
3 large eggs (yolk & white separated)
Method:
To make the caramel place the sugar in a saucepan, add 2 tbsp of cold water and dissolve the sugar over a low heat. Bring to a slow simmer but do not stir as this will cause the sugar to crystallise. When the syrup starts to colour round the edge, give the syrup a gentle swirl around the pan as this will allow the caramel to cook through. Allow it to become a nice dark brown colour, but do not stir. Once you have reached a nice colour, take the pan off the heat and stir in the butter and salt. In a separate pan bring the double cream up to boiling point and add this to the caramel, continue to stir until smooth, ensuring that all the caramel is dissolved in the warm cream. Break up both bars of chocolate and add to the pan, mix it through until completely melted before adding the egg yolks and giving the mixture a good stir to incorporate everything together. Finally whisk up the egg whites in a clean bowl until they have formed firm but not stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites gently through the chocolate before dividing into six serving dishes. Refrigerate for 5 hours before serving.
