Made this once, and it is fan-tas-tically decadent! from tv program with Frugal Gourmet, Jeff Smith. Jeff said that there are enough moose in the world, and his wife's favorite animal is an Elephant! I served it to my family one Christmas Eve. Read more I have another mousse recipe which is way delish too, and uses much less fat! But they are both non-milk, and to die for!!! will post later tonite, perhaps. See less
Ingredients
- 12 eggs, separated shopping list
- 2 sticks butter (1/2 lb) shopping list
- 1 lb German semi sweet chocolate(today I would use Ghiradelli's 60% cacao chips) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons Amaretto shopping list
How to make it
- Beat egg yolks with vanilla and butter and when thoroughly blended, add the amaretto.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler, and set aside to cool a bit.
- Beat egg whites with 4 Tablespoons white sugar until whites are stiff.
- Combine butter/yolk mixture and the melted chocolate, adding the chocolate a little at a time. Finally, Gently fold in the stiff eggwhites, stopping when the whites are just incorporated. Spoon into small glasses and chill. May be served with dollops of whipped cream, or not. It really does not need more embellishment.
