SHERATON CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1 pinch of sea salt
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
7 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
• Heat ¾ cup of heavy cream in a saucepan.
• Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl; then add the mixture to the hot cream, whisking slowly until combined.
• Pour the mixture through a chinois, or a fine mesh strainer, into a bowl and add the vanilla.
• To melt the chocolate, use a double boiler. If you don’t have one, you can use a metal mixing bowl placed on top of a sauce pan. Place a couple of inches of water in the pan below.
• Once the chocolate is melted, whisk the custard mix into the melted chocolate until it’s smooth. Be sure to let the chocolate custard mix cool.
• Beat remaining 1 ¼ cups of cream until you achieve stiff peaks; then gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate custard.
• Serve chocolate mousse in individual glasses or serving dishes, top it with sprinkles, berries, or a drizzle of chocolate to make it look even more festive!
The Sheraton's brunch with Santa will be held on December 3rd, 10th, and 17th and will benefit the Toys for Toys Program. For reservations you can call 801-401-2000.
