Chocolate Mousse
Hubby claims he’s not a big dessert guy. Or a big chocolate guy. I have a hard time believing that because no matter what I bake, he always wants a bite. But even after everything I’ve made, this chocolate mousse is one of his favorites of all time. We literally have to hide the bowl so there is enough to share with others.
Hubby’s mom makes this for every holiday that we’re home. I’ve never tried to make this, but she gave me the recipe and permission to post it on here (thanks N!)
This mousse is best the day it’s made. If you need to make it in advance, be sure to give it a good stir prior to serving.
Chocolate Mousse
Yield: ~20 servings
Ingredients:
6 eggs, at room temp, washed with soap and water, 5 separated, 1 slightly beaten
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 lb chocolate
1/3 c powdered sugar
Directions:
Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer, beat the 5 egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, whip cream with powdered sugar.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate. Add the beaten egg and mix together. Beat in the egg yolks of the 5 separated eggs. Mix chocolate mixture together with whipped cream. Carefully fold in the egg whites. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
Note, if using white chocolate, it needs to be melted with some liquor, milk, or cream.

SO, I never had any desire to get Peeps.
But, after seeing these blondes of yours, I want to run out and buy out all the stores!
Who doesn’t love peeps? These look delicious!
