We had some friends come around for dinner tonight so I thought I would make dessert. I had never tried mousse before and I'm so glad I did! This was beautiful. The raspberries broke up the sweetness and the little chunks of hazelnuts gave it a great texture! It's also easy to make and you can make it look really elegant by putting it in a martini glass.
Chocolate hazelnut mousse with raspberries
150g milk chocolate
150g dark chocolate
300ml of thickened cream
3 eggs, separate
1/3 cup hazelnuts, chopped finely
2 Tbsp caster sugar
Raspberries to decorate
1. Melt chocolate together in heatproof bowl on pot of simmering water, stirring gently with a spoon until it's melted. Set aside to cool slightly
2. Mix in egg yolks to chocolate mixture.
3. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle caster sugar over top and continue mixing until glossy and thick. Fold in to chocolate mixture in two batches
4. Beat cream until soft peaks form and fold into mixture along with hazelnuts.
5. Sprinkle a handful of raspberries in bottom of martini glass ( or any glass you have at home). Spoon mousse on top of raspberries an garnish with another few raspberries.
6. Put in fridge to set for a few hours before eating!! Yummy!
