Blue Bayou's Chocolate Mousse

I decided to close this week's challenge out with something sweet and decadent. After finding this Blue Bayou recipe I knew I had to give it a try! It's so delicious, easy to make, and versatile!


Ingredients:

12 oz. bittersweet chocolate
4 oz. unsalted butter (full stick)
5 oz. egg whites (slightly over 1/2 cup)
2 oz. sugar (1/4 cup)
3 1/2 cups of heavy cream

Start by using either a saucepan or a double boiler to melt down the chocolate and butter. Make sure to constantly stir so that the chocolate does not have a chance to stick to the bottom and melt.

Starter ingredients
Combine chips and butter
Mix Well
Finally melted
Now, whip the cream and sugar on high for a few minutes until it is light and fluffy. Once that is done, transfer to a different bowl and set aside.

Once the whip cream is done, start on the egg whites - beat them on high until soft peaks form.

Now, use a wire whisk to gently fold in melted chocolate, and then whipped cream. Then cover and refrigerate overnight.

After the mousse has chilled long enough, serve and enjoy!
Bon Appetit!
