Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz dark chocolate
- 1 1/10 cup heavy cream
- 1 4/5 oz granulated sugar
- a pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1Set a heat‑proof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and add the chopped dark chocolate; stir gently until completely melted and smooth, about 3–4 minutes. If using a microwave, heat in 20‑second bursts, stirring between bursts, until smooth.
- 2Remove the chocolate from heat and let it cool slightly for 2–3 minutes so it is warm but not hot to the touch.
- 3In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and whisk with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- 4Gradually fold the warm melted chocolate into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula, turning the bowl gently to keep the mixture airy. Continue until the chocolate is fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
- 5Add the granulated sugar to the chocolate‑cream mixture, sprinkling it evenly, and gently fold it in until the sugar is dissolved.
- 6Season the mousse with a pinch of sea salt, tasting and adjusting if a slightly salty edge is desired.
- 7Stir in the vanilla extract, folding just enough to distribute the flavor without deflating the mousse.
- 8Divide the mousse into four individual serving glasses or ramekins, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
- 9Cover each serving container with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
- 10Before serving, optionally garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder, a few chocolate shavings, or a tiny drizzle of extra vanilla extract.
- 11Serve the chilled chocolate crèmeux straight from the refrigerator and enjoy the silky, velvety texture.
