As a passionate home baker who's perfected countless desserts over years of trial and error, I've created a truly indulgent chocolate mousse using only eggs and chocolate—no sugar or butter needed.
Impossible? Not at all! Say goodbye to diet-ruining classics packed with butter and sugar.
Instead of settling for plain fromage blanc, I refined the traditional recipe to its essentials: eggs and chocolate. This light version lets you treat yourself guilt-free.
Skeptical? Read on for the details.
- 4 eggs
- 300g dark or milk chocolate
1. Melt the chocolate in a saucepan with a little water.
2. Meanwhile, separate the whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff.
3. When very firm, add the equivalent of two tablespoons of cold water (this helps them swell further for better consistency) and continue beating.
4. Once the chocolate is melted, vigorously stir in the egg yolks to prevent them from cooking in the heat, then gently fold in the beaten whites.
Your mousse is ready! I portion it into individual ramekins to ensure everyone gets their fair share.
- 4 eggs: €1
- 300 g of dark chocolate: €3.50 per kilo, i.e. €1.05
Either a chocolate mousse costing me €0.34 per person or €2.05 for 6 people.
