Milk Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 3 sheets of 180 Bloom Gelatin Sheets
  • 15 ml Baileys Irish Cream
  • 350 g Milk Chocolate
  • 100 g Semi-Sweet Chocolate
  • 946 ml heavy cream

Cooking method:

  • Make whipped cream using the heavy cream and set in a cool place
  • Heat the chocolate in the microwave using intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between to prevent the chocolate from burning until melted (usually 3 to 4 cycles)
  • Bloom the Gelatin in cold water
  • On a double boiler whisk the eggs until they double in volume
  • Add in the bloomed gelatin and whisk until dissolved
  • Add the melted chocolate to the eggs and whisk to combine
  • Add the Baileys Irish Cream, again whisk until incorporated
  • Using a rubber spatula fold in the whipped cream
  • Transfer to a container for storage, refrigerate to allow the mousse to set before use

My tip is to add a few ice cubes to the gelatin cold water to prevent the water from turning warm while preparing the eggs.
