ASMR Cooking French Chocolate Mousse

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cocoa powder

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Cocoa powder is lower in fat and calories.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option.

Bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer. In a bowl add the chocolate and butter and sit it over the simmering water without letting it touch the water. Stir until melted, then set aside to cool slightly.

In another bowl add egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and water and also sit over the simmering water and whisk until pale; about 3 minutes (it will still be somewhat runny). Add to the chocolate and stir to combine.

Whisk your egg whites until thick and glossy (but not super stiff like you would with meringue).

Add a third of the egg whites to your chocolate and incorporate well. Add the remaining egg whites and fold through until well incorporated. Add to individual pots or a large bowl and refrigerate.
