The preparation and cooking times below do not include the 2-3 hours chilling time and the 30 minutes recommended for allowing the mousses to come closer to room temperature.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup freshly brewed coffee
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1 tablespoon cognac or 1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
8 extra-large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
kosher salt
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
sweetened whipped cream, for decoration

Steps:

  • In a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the two chocolates, coffee, coffee powder, Grand Marnier, Armagnac, and vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature. Beat in the softened butter.

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Pour the mousse into a 2-quart serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for a few hours or overnight and up to a week.

Ancho chocolate mousse with Grand Marnier is a rich and decadent dessert that combines the intense flavors of dark chocolate and spicy ancho chilies with the sweet and citrusy notes of Grand Marnier. This dessert is perfect for any special occasion or dinner party and is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates. In this article, we will provide you with valuable tips on how to make this delicious dessert.

Tip 1: Choosing the Right Chocolate

The key to a delicious ancho chocolate mousse is to use high-quality chocolate. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is the best choice for this recipe. The higher the cocoa content, the better the quality of the chocolate, as it will have a richer flavor and a smoother texture when melted. Make sure to chop the chocolate into small pieces before melting it, as this will help it to melt evenly and prevent burning or seizing.

Tip 2: Preparing the Ancho Chilies

Ancho chilies are a dried form of the poblano chili pepper and are commonly used in Mexican cuisine. They have a mild, smoky flavor and a slightly sweet taste. To prepare the ancho chilies for this recipe, you will need to remove the stems and seeds and then soak them in hot water for 30 minutes until they are soft. Once they are soft, you can puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Tip 3: Incorporating the Ancho Chili Puree

When adding the ancho chili puree to the chocolate mixture, it is important to do so gradually and whisk it in thoroughly to ensure that it is evenly distributed. Start with a small amount of puree and taste the mixture before adding more, as the heat from the chilies can vary depending on the size and variety of the peppers. Keep in mind that the goal is to add just enough of the puree to give the mousse a subtle hint of heat without overwhelming the chocolate flavors.

Tip 4: Using Grand Marnier

Grand Marnier is a French orange liqueur that adds a bright, citrusy note to the chocolate mousse. It also helps to balance out the heat from the ancho chilies and enhances the overall flavor profile of the dessert. Make sure to use high-quality Grand Marnier for the best results. You can also experiment with other orange liqueurs, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec, if you prefer a different flavor.

Tip 5: Whipping the Egg Whites

Whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks is an important step in making the ancho chocolate mousse. The egg whites help to give the mousse a light and airy texture, and they also help to balance out the richness of the chocolate. To ensure that the egg whites whip up properly, make sure that your mixing bowl and whisk are clean and free of any grease or residue. You can also add a pinch of cream of tartar to the egg whites to help stabilize them and make them easier to whip.

Tip 6: Folding the Chocolate and Egg Whites Together

When folding the chocolate mixture into the egg whites, it is important to do so gently and gradually to avoid deflating the egg whites. Start by adding a small amount of the chocolate mixture to the egg whites and gently fold it in using a spatula. Then, add the rest of the chocolate mixture in small batches, folding it in gently each time until the two mixtures are fully combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Conclusion

Ancho chocolate mousse with Grand Marnier is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these valuable tips, you can ensure that your mousse turns out perfectly every time. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and impress your guests with your culinary skills!
