La Mousse au Chocolat

We enjoyed learning how to cook this Mousse in our french language cooking class!

Ingredients
6 jaunes d'oeufs
100 grammes de sucre
1 sachet de sucre vanillé
200 grammes de chocolat noir
2 cuillères à soupe de lait
1/2 litre de crème fraiche

And now for the English version...

Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
8 oz. (or 8 squares) dark chocolate or baking chocolate bar
2 Tbsp. milk
2 cups whipping cream

1. In a large bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the sugar and the vanilla.
2. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate pieces with the milk.
3. After melted, slowly combine the two mixtures, stirring the egg mixture as you add the chocolate.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the whipping cream until it is light and fluffy.
5. Combine the two preparations.
6. Allow the mousse to stay in the fridge for 12 hours. Enjoy!

Bon Appetit!
