This decadent Gordon Ramsay Chocolate Mousse recipe is a rich and creamy dessert made with high-quality dark chocolate, whipped cream, and delicately folded egg whites to create a light and airy texture. Perfectly balanced with a subtle sweetness and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, this mousse is an elegant treat that requires no baking and is chilled to set for several hours.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mousse

  • 55g eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
  • 125g dark cooking chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 10g unsalted butter
  • 120ml full-fat cream
  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar (superfine sugar)

Toppings

  • More whipped cream (for serving)
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Separate eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing each in separate clean bowls, preparing for different mixing stages.
  2. Whisk yolks: Whisk the egg yolks until they become smooth and lightly thickened, providing a rich base for the mousse.
  3. Melt chocolate and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly each time until the mixture is smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.
  4. Whip cream: Whip the full-fat cream until it forms stiff peaks, which will add volume and creaminess to the mousse.
  5. Whip egg whites with sugar: Add the caster sugar to the egg whites and whip until firm, glossy peaks form, creating the light airy texture essential for mousse.
  6. Combine yolks and cream: Fold the whisked egg yolks gently into the whipped cream, mixing carefully to maintain airiness.
  7. Add melted chocolate: Incorporate the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the cream and yolk blend, folding gently to combine all ingredients smoothly.
  8. Fold in egg whites: Gradually and gently fold the stiff egg whites into the chocolate mixture in batches, taking care not to deflate the light texture.
  9. Chill mousse: Spoon the mousse mixture into serving glasses and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours, allowing the mousse to set properly.
  10. Serve: Before serving, top each glass of mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best results and ensure bowls and utensils are clean and dry to achieve stiff egg white peaks.
  • If you don’t have a microwave, melt the chocolate and butter gently over a double boiler on the stovetop.
  • Be gentle when folding mixtures to preserve the mousse’s airy texture.
  • The mousse can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream and butter with suitable non-dairy alternatives.
