Recipe: Coffee chocolate mousse

 Recipe: Coffee chocolate mousse    

I learned this recipe originally from my mother «Nacéra ».

Chocolate is made from the mixture, in varying measures, of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar, with - of course - the addition of certain aromas and flavors.

The "chocolate mousse" - which goes to its creator Charles FAZI (Switzerland), servant of  Louis XVI - is among the most famous desserts.  A delicious chocolate-based preparation.

To spend pleasant summer evenings, with family or surrounded by guests and friends, nothing is better than enjoying a "refreshing" dessert, such as chocolate mousse.

Regarding Muslim families, and during the month of Ramadan (which is the month  of  fasting  or  " Sawm "), this kind of dessert is - almost - every this evening, as the mint tea, cakes - or desserts - with honey, cream of rice (also called Mhalbi ) or even Flan; So everyone is enjoying themselves, and the adults will refill their reserve for the following day's fast .     

The chocolate mousse can be garnished with orange zest or certain spices… And so much I like coffee (as intensely as chocolate), so I prepared my chocolate mousse as follows ... 

Recipe: 

Ø Ingredients: for 4 individual ramekins

·     100g of chocolate;

·     3 eggs ;

·     10g of butter (or margarine);

·     5 tablespoons of prepared coffee.

Ø Preparation:

1.       In a double boiler, melt the chocolate with the butter and the coffee;

2.       Separate the egg whites from the yolks;  

3.       Off the heat, add the egg yolks to this mixture; mix well to have a smooth and homogeneous texture;

4.       In a bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff;

5.       Gently fold these into the chocolate mixture: coat the top with the bat;

6.       Put in individual ramekins;

7.       Decorate, if you want, in your own way, or leave it without additions, it is sure to be eye-catching.

Serve this “delicious” delight chilled (not before two hours of preparation), or even iced… yum yum ... and Enjoy your meal.
