Dark Chocolate Mousse A Maisonette Recipe

Approximately 10 servings

Ingredients
1 lb. Semi Sweet Chocolate
1 lb. Karo Syrup
5 oz. Egg Whites
5 oz. Granulated Sugar
1 qt. Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tsp. Vanilla

Preparation

Melt the chocolate slowly and add the syrup, mix until smooth. Beat the egg whites and add half the sugar. Beat until very stiff (peak). Fold gently into the chocolate mixture. Beat whipping cream, half the sugar, and vanilla until very stiff. Fold into the chocolate mixture.

Delicious Results!

Nat’s Notes:

This is best served when fully set, so make it a day ahead of time. If you’ve been patient whipping the eggs and cream this should hold up well for 4 to 5 days. Now close your eyes and imagine that someone rolls it out tableside on a custom made walnut cart, chilled in a bath of ice, and serves it with a silver spoon!

Sounds wonderful! Karo gets dissed by many people. It's not something to have every day, but for certain recipes it makes all the difference.

You need good chocolate, too. Like Lindt or Ghirardelli.
