Where to find ingredients
Egg whites and yolks, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder are commonly found in the dairy and baking aisles of most supermarkets. Unflavored gelatin is also widely available in the baking section of supermarkets. If you cannot find it, check specialty baking stores or online retailers. Look for cocoa powder labeled as unsweetened. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, use a good quality baking chocolate instead of cocoa powder, melting about 6-8 oz and incorporating it into the yolk mixture after it has thickened.
Preparation method
- Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold in the heavy cream, reserving this mixture
- In a mixer, combine the egg yolks, cocoa powder, milk, and sugar
- Beat all ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture
- Transfer the mixture from the mixer to a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it slightly thickens
- Dissolve the unflavored gelatin envelopes according to the package instructions
- Add the dissolved gelatin and the thickened cream mixture to the reserved mixture with the egg whites and heavy cream
- Delicately fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, stirring from bottom to top to maintain airiness
- Portion the mousse into individual serving dishes
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set
