Description
A rich and delightful chocolate mousse cake with fresh raspberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g milk chocolate
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 100 g sugar
- 5 eggs, separated
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g fresh raspberries
- 1 packet gelatin or agar-agar
- 150 g butter cookies or sponge cake
- 80 g melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the crust. Crush the butter cookies or sponge cake and mix them with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and refrigerate to set.
- Melt the dark and milk chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly once melted.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until you get soft peaks. This will add lightness to your mousse.
- Beat the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. Fold in the slightly cooled melted chocolate until well combined.
- Fold your whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to maintain that airy texture!
- Dissolve the gelatin or agar-agar according to the package instructions, then fold it into the chocolate-cream mixture. This will help your mousse set beautifully.
- Fold in your fresh raspberries, giving you that delightful fruity pop in your cake.
- Pour the mousse mixture over the chilled crust in the springform pan and refrigerate. Let it set for at least 120 minutes (or longer if time allows).
- Remove the cake from the springform pan once set. You can decorate it with extra raspberries and some whipped cream if you’d like.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra indulgence!
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Chill thoroughly for optimal texture.
