Organic Dark Chocolate Mousse

Use same instructions are for the white chocolate mousse, with a few exceptions:

- 5 dark green earl grey chocolate bars (9oz/255g)from The TeaRoom (see below for a list of other available dark chocolate bars)

- 1 pint (0.47lts) organic heavy whip cream (can be non-organic)

Required Tools:

- 1 medium size pot

- 2 stainless steel bowls, 1.5 to 2 quarts capacity (you can use glass/ceramic bowls instead

- Mixer, electric or hand

- Whisk

- Spatula (spoon will do if you don’t have a spatula)

- Glass bowl or individual glasses for serving



Instructions:

1st:

- Fill pot half with water, bring to a boil

- Break chocolate bar into 3-4 pieces per bar, put all pieces in 1 stainless steel bowl

- Whip cream in other stainless steel bowl until lightly whipped (not too stiff, check video), do not over do it

2nd:

- Place stainless steel bowl containing the broken chocolate in the pot with the hot water, melt chocolate, do not let the water boil or let the bowl touch the water

- Stir chocolate until melted approximately 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)

- Remove melted chocolate from hot water pot

- Add only 1/5 of the whipped cream to chocolate, stir firmly with whisk, put bowl back on the hot water for a few seconds to smoothen the mix

- Add another 1/5 of the whipped cream, beat strongly again. If necessary, put again back on the hot water to mix chocolate & whip cream well

- Add the remaining 3/5 whipped cream, mix delicately

3rd:

- Put mixture in large glass bowl or individual containers (glasses, cups ...)

- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours

4th : Enjoy!

Key: Do not over whip the cream, it should just fall off a spoon.

- Mousse can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. Make sure it is covered/sealed properly as the mousse takes on other smells easily

- Can be served together with a raspberry coulis
