Ingredients
- 200 g de chocolat noir
- 300 g de mascarpone
- 200 ml de crème liquide entière
- 50 g de sucre
- 1 cuil. à café d'extrait de café
Instructions
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a bowl over a gentle bain-marie, stirring until smooth and shiny (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, pour in the whole cream. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form, roughly 3 minutes. Be cautious not to overwhip as it will become too firm.
- In another bowl, combine mascarpone and sugar. Mix at low speed for about 1 minute until well blended, making sure not to overwhip.
- Gradually add the slightly cooled melted chocolate to the mascarpone mixture. Gently fold together with a silicone spatula, taking care to maintain the air incorporated.
- Carefully incorporate the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in several additions. Fold gently until no streaks remain (about 12 folds). Avoid overmixing.
- Divide the mousse into small serving glasses and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
- Before serving, ensure the mousse is thick enough to hold its shape while remaining creamy. Enjoy chilled!

Keywords: Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) for best results. If needed, substitute mascarpone with cream cheese, but note that it may affect the texture. Avoid using low-fat cream as it won’t whip properly. For added flavor, consider garnishing with dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder right before serving.
