CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

I just LOVE chocolate desserts and the richer the better! Of course, we don’t eat them every day, but when we do – we do it right!

We love entertaining and Chocolate Mousse is one of our guests’ favorite desserts, so I’ve spent years working on various recipes. I would cook and stir (and HOPE!) that they would come out just right. It was all a bit stressful until I developed this one... You would never guess it was made in a blender – and in minutes!

Get ready for the smoothest, richest, and most soul-satisfying Chocolate Mousse you will ever taste! It will melt in your mouth and might even move you to tears if you, too, LOVE chocolate! My recent party guests begged and so here it is:

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

6 Ounces Semisweet Chocolate (6 oz chocolate chips or 6 oz squares)
1 Tbls Orange Juice
2 Tbls Dark Rum)
2 Egg Yolks*
2 Eggs (Whole)*
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ Cup Sugar
1 Cup Heavy Cream

Melt the chocolate with rum and orange juice in glass measuring cup covered in plastic wrap in microwave for about 1 minute. Microwave only until mixture is hot, then whisk until smooth. Set aside.

Put egg yolks and eggs in blender with vanilla and sugar. Blend for 2 minutes at medium high speed. Add the heavy cream and blend for another 45 seconds.

While motor is still running, add the melted chocolate through the hole in the blender lid and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl or small individual cups. Lick all rubber spatulas and spoons used! Refrigerate overnight.

Each recipe makes about 3-4 servings, depending on size of cups and appetites!

*When raw eggs are used in a recipe, they must be extremely fresh!
