Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be found in local supermarkets or large food retail stores. For those seeking alternatives, standard heavy cream may be used as a substitute for table cream if necessary, though the original texture is best achieved with the latter.
Preparation method
- Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks and add the table cream, setting the mixture aside.
- In a mixer, combine the egg yolks, cocoa powder, milk, and sugar.
- Beat all ingredients well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
- Place the mixture from the mixer over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
- Dissolve the packets of unflavored gelatin according to the package instructions.
- Add the dissolved gelatin and the thickened cream to the reserved mixture with the egg whites and table cream.
- Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter, stirring from bottom to top so as not to lose the air.
- Distribute the mousse into individual bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
