Simple Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Moose
Ingredients:
1st mixture:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp water
dark chocolate (120 grams)



2nd mixture:
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp granulated sugar





3rd mixture:
1 cup whipped cream
1 tbsp granulated sugar

Procedure:
1.  Put butter, water and chocolate in a double boiler.  The consistency of the chocolate mixture should not be too thick but not too thin.  Set aside.

2.  Beat egg yolks until light and fluffy, add sugar a little at a time and beat for 3 minutes more.

3.  Put a little of the first mixture to 2nd mixture to temper the egg mixture.  Mix well. 

4.  Continue putting a little at a time of the 1st mixture to the 2nd mixture until both mixture is combined.  Mix well.

 5.  Whip cream until stiff peaks form, add sugar a little at a time and beat again for another 3 minutes.

6.  Fold half of the chocolate mixture to whipped cream mixture, then fold in the rest of the chocolate mixture. 

7.  Put in ramekins and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours.  Top with shaved chocolate and whipped cream.

     Every time I make chocolate moose, I make Special Puto so I could use the egg whites left in making this recipe. It's good for breakfast with your coffee.
