Chocolate Mousse
Tip
This is really nice and rich so I have made it serve 6, however you could do 4 larger portions. I served mine with berries and cherries and wafer sticks and it was a real hit! Everyone loves this Mousse, I have requests for it all the time! I have also used the Green and Blacks dark chocolate with ginger and it was devine..... A great one to share with your loved one on valentines day. xo

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Peita Lollback:try whipping the cream before you start the recipe, and keep it aside for when you need to add the cream.
The chocolate mix was too hard and my cream split.
This recipe is very similar to a recipe I have been making on the stove for 30 years, only I add a tablespoon of Cointreau, of which I did for this recipe. I also had to re whip cream as I did not clean the Thermomix bowl after whipping the eggs. The cream went funny. Next time, I would whip the cream first and set aside, as the chocolate mixture does harden. (I followed the whipped cream method in the Basic cookbook the second time) I was able to mix the cream and egg whites through though without any issue. When I was mixing it, it did look as though it was going to have chocolate gritty bits in it, however it was smooth when eating. It is delicious. Dark chocolate a must. Thanks for the recipe.
Great recipe but wasted a tub of cream as it turned to butter in 2 mins...another trip to the supermarket and it came out a bit better but by then the chocolate and egg yolk mixture had hardened a bit.. still tastes good! But watch out for those problems.....
Looks like a great recipe but didn't work for me, the mix became hard before I could stir the other ingredients in and cream became butter after only a minute. Would suggest using runny/whipping cream. Have had better success with the Everyday Cookbook mousse.
Yum .I only had 1 problem that the chocolate mix started to set while you make the rest. So i have tiny bits of chocolate mix throught the mousse now. This is right?.
Yes you have to keep an eye on that cream in the TM! Glad you enjoyed it Di66!
Yum, this is a beautiful mouse! The only hiccup I had was that I put the cream on for 2 mins and it turned to butter, and being fairly new to thermomix cooking I wasn't sure what to adjust it down to, so I ended up beating the cream with hand beater. Thanks for the recipe!
Why thankyou for your comment lozbarwick! I might have to invent a dairy free recipe just for you
This looks and sounds devine Queen Mixer! If only I could have all that dairy! I'll be sure to try making it when my family and friends come around! Thanks for the inspiration!
