Ingredients

Chocolate Mousse with Chili and Chambord

Instructions

Heat two pots on the stove with approx. 0.5 l of water each for melting the couverture and whipping the egg cream.
Roughly chop the couverture and gently melt it in a bowl on a water bath at max. 40 ° C.
In another bowl, add egg, egg yolk, ground chilli flakes (dose according to your own taste and heat of the chilli, max. 1.5 teaspoons; the heat develops when steeping) and bourbon vanilla sugar. Beat on the second, not boiling water bath until the volume has doubled and a nice cream has formed. Make sure that the egg does not curdle.
Then slowly but steadily stir the still warm cream into the melted couverture until a homogeneous mass is formed. Stir the chambord into this mixture. Let the cream cool completely.
In the meantime, beat the egg white and cream separately until stiff. First carefully mix the cream and then the egg white with the cream.
Then either pour the cream into a larger bowl or fill it into portion bowls and refrigerate until ready to eat. This takes about 5 - 6 hours. It can also be prepared the day before without any problems.

Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
