Best Chocolate And Olive Oil Mousse Recipes
CHOCOLATE AND OLIVE OIL MOUSSE
Olive oil makes this bittersweet chocolate mousse kosher for a meat meal. Joan Nathan brought the recipe to The Times in 2007. "This is a contemporary dessert from Tangiers, a city with a blend of cultures," the cookbook author Ana Benarroch de Bensadón said. "Originally this recipe included butter and cream, but we replaced it with olive oil, making it 'parve' or neutral."

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH OLIVE OIL AND SEA SALT
Steps:
- Whisk the milk and eggs together, beating for at least a minute. Put in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat. Put a thermometer into the milk mixture and carefully heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 160°F. Take off the heat. In another small, heavy saucepan, put the chocolate over low heat. (Break up the chocolate into shards, if not using small baking pieces.) Heat slowly, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted. Take off the heat and stir in the coffee, if using, and the olive oil. Add the milk and egg mixture to a blender or food processor, along with the maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of fine salt. Blend to combine blend the combine eggs, milk, olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. With the food processor or blender running, slowly pour in the chocolate and coffee mixture and blend until well combined. The final mix will be frothy and smooth. Fill four 6-ounce dishes or eight to ten smaller ramekins and put in the refrigerator to chill. Depending on the size and depth of the dish this mousse will take from a half hour to three hours to set. Serve with whipped cream and just a pinch of rough salt.
