Did you know that
Agar agar can be used as an alternative to isinglass. In this case, it is advisable to dissolve the agar powder in milk at 80 ° C, taking care to mix continuously with a whisk to avoid the formation of lumps.- Pour the hot milk into the dark chocolate, then mix for a long time to form a cream. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Whip the fresh cream with an electric whisk and add it - slowly and a little at a time - to the chocolate cream (at room temperature).
- Combine the cream in a pastry bag with a star spout and distribute in single-portion glasses. Leave the chocolate mousse to cool in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.
- Decorate as desired with unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate flakes, red fruits or biscuits.
- The mousse can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
The mousse is ready: it can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days, tightly closed with cling film or even better in a box with a lid. You can serve it as a spoon dessert perhaps with some raspberry and mint decoration; alternatively, the mousse that I have proposed is special for filling cakes, pastries or puff pastries!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
