Ingredients:
6 chocolate bars (10.8 oz/306g) Black Masala Chai Milk Chocolate from The TeaRoom (See below for list of other milk chocolate bars available)
- 1 pint (0.47ltr) Organic Heavy Whip Cream (one can use non-organic if organic is not available)
Required Tools:
- 1 medium size pot
- 2 stainless steel bowls, 1.5 to 2 quarts capacity (you can use glass/ceramic bowls instead
- Mixer, electric or hand
- Whisk
- Spatula (spoon will do if you don’t have a spatula)
- Glass bowl or individual glasses for serving
Instructions:
1st:
- Fill pot half with water, bring to a boil
- Break chocolate bar into 3-4 pieces per bar, put all pieces in 1 stainless steel bowl
- Whip cream in other stainless steel bowl until lightly whipped (not too stiff, check video), do not over do it
2nd:
- Place stainless steel bowl containing the broken chocolate in the pot with the hot water, melt chocolate, do not let the water boil or let the bowl touch the water
- Stir chocolate until melted approximately 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)
- Remove melted chocolate from hot water pot
- Add only 1/5 of the whipped cream to chocolate, stir firmly with whisk, put bowl back on the hot water for a few seconds to smoothen the mix
- Add another 1/5 of the whipped cream, beat strongly again. If necessary, put again back on the hot water to mix chocolate & whip cream well
- Add the remaining 3/5 whipped cream, mix delicately
3rd:
- Put mixture in large glass bowl or individual containers (glasses, cups ...)
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours
4th : Enjoy!
Key: Do not over whip the cream, it should just fall off a spoon.
- Mousse can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. Make sure it is covered/sealed properly as the mousse takes on other smells easily
