This Was My Favorite Dessert in NYC. Here’s How to Make It at Home | Bake Time | NYT Cooking

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Coconut cream is lower in calories and can be more affordable.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with higher cocoa content

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Higher cocoa content offers more antioxidants; semi-sweet is often cheaper.

Add egg yolks to a large bowl.

Melt dark chocolate in a bowl.

Heat heavy cream and whole milk until scalded (170 degrees).

Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.

Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.

Add olive oil to the mixture and blend again.

Strain the mixture into a container to remove any lumps.

Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

Roast hazelnuts in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes.
