Tip

This is a great recipe for low/no sugar diets and high protein diets - substitute the chocolate with low/no sugar chocolate and add sweetener (equivalent to 50 grams). If using powder form of sweetener add it at step 1, if using granular sweetener then mill it 10 seconds/speed 10 prior to step 1.

Variations:

Chilli Chocolate Mousse - Add ground chilli power to taste at step 2.

Add 2-3 tsp of liqueur of your choice or rum.

Fold in grated orange zest or choc chips in at step 4 after folding in egg whites

    TM 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!

    Followed the recipe exactly and my chocolate went chunky. Folding in the egg whites was impossible and had to press it into the spatula to try to smooth it out and together. Ended up with chunky mouse and not enough to fill 3 small jars. Used a good quality organic 70% dark cocoa chocolate and farm fresh eggs. Not sure what went wrong.
