| Can anyone share a mousse recipe that calls for heavy cream? I had the recipe and bought the heavy cream, now I can't find the recipe. Egg whites? Not sure. TIA |

Craig Claiborne's is our family's go-to. Works fine without the liqueur.

Mousse can be made with egg whites (pasteurized is better) or heavy cream. The egg white kind is infinitely lighter and better for your health. There is actually a chocolate mousse recipe that only calls for two ingredients: egg whites and chocolate. It's a bit tricky to make, I won't lie. |

I'll share mine if you promise to call it Linda's Famous Chocolate Mousse after my MIL.
12 oz. Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips 3 eggs 2 Tbs. Grand Marnier (optional) 1 pint heavy cream Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler until melted, but not smooth. Remove from heat a little early so you get tiny chips in the mousse. While the chocolate melts, separate 2 eggs and beat the whites until firm. Set the 2 yellows aside. When chocolate is removed from heat, stir with a metal spoon. It will be really thick. Mix in 1 whole egg into chocolate. Mix in 2 egg yellows. Mix in Grand Marnier. Transfer to a large bowl. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture. In a separate bowl, whip cream until thick. Fold whipped cream into chocolate. Spoon into serving dishes, cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight until serving. |

I have made every single chocolate mousse recipe I could find on the internet. Seriously.
In my opinion, the Bon Appetit recipe is the best. Use that. |
