Chocolate mousse


Ah !now here I am with this totally mouth watering, finger licking dessert. 'Sirf naam hi kafi hai' isn't it. This one is by my mom-in-law who herself is an amazing cook.
So here is what you need.
  • 3 large eggs
  • 300 ml (1 1/4 cup )milk.
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 cup beaten fresh cream
  • 1 packet (11 gms) strong gelatin
  • 2 tbsp drinking chocolate( chocolate powder)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder ( you can add more for a more chocolaty taste )
  • Walnuts and Fresh cream for decoration
Method:-
  1. Separate the eggs and mix the egg yolk , milk, sugar , chocolate powder , cocoa and cook on low flame. Keep stirring continuously till the mixture turns into custard like consistency. This would approximately take about 15 mins. Remove from flame and cool it.
  2. In another bowl whisk egg white till fluffy
  3. In a small cup dissolve the gelatin in hot water .
  4. Add the gelatin to the egg yolk mixture.
  5. Now keep the above vessel ( egg yolk and gelatin mixture) on a vessel filled with ice cubes and keep stirring
  6. When this mixture becomes thick add the whipped cream slowly and mix again
  7. Add the vanilla essence
  8. Then add the egg whites to it and mix till it becomes thick.
  9. Now add chopped walnuts to it.
  10. Keep the mixture in the freezer for 5 to 10 mins and then in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
  11. Garnish with walnuts and cream.
