Kathiej7: I think they mean reserved whites (not yolks) in step 6.
Just before I start making this I can't see when the egg whites get added to the mixture .. can someone help me please? Am I reading it wrong ?
The new TM5 recipe is better
I made this the first time and it worked perfectly. But ive made it 4-5 times sinc and its not set. Been grainy, runny etc. What am I doing wrong?
Pretty straight forward. Great flavour but found the texture a little grainy.
Sorry but i just tried to make this mousse for christmas day, what a disaster! It took way longer then 10 minutes to make (at least an hour) and when I went to hand fold the melted chocolate into the mixture it went rock hard so I was left with cream and rocks of chocolate! Im new to thermomix and Making this recipe has certainly put me off buying one! Would have been quicker, easier and cleaner to make it on the stove! Sorry!
Sorry Bubblegrub, mousse is always a pain. You can alleviate some of the fiddle by melting the chocolate elsewhere...having said that, TM does melt chocolate very well and with no danger of cooking it!
I made this chocolate mousse yesterday and it seemed to quite a bit of mucking around. Mixing stuff then transfering to bowls and not as easy as I had hoped. It was beautifully rich and I actually prefered it served at room temp as it's quite thick.
