Chocolate Chip Vanilla Mousse
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Prepare the Egg Whites:
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar (if using) until soft peaks form. Gradually add a bit of powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Then, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites until just incorporated. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture.
- Chill:
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with mini chocolate chips or shaved chocolate.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- You can also add a splash of coffee or liqueur to the melted chocolate for an extra depth of flavor.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate chip vanilla mousse!
