A nutrition researcher named Michael Levine once said, “Chemically speaking, chocolate really is the world's perfect food.”
I can tell you a million reasons why he may be right. But for now, let me share with you a chocolate dessert recipe from Nomadic’s “Family Recipes” book. Try making it for your family and friends this Memorial Day weekend. It’s a recipe submitted by Hendrik Lenze, our Director of New Business Development. Here it is:
Mousse Au Chocolat - 11 oz Dark chocolate
- 5 oz Crème Fraiche
- 2 tbsp Rum
- 4 Egg Whites
- 1 oz Powdered sugar
Melt the chocolate and the Crème Fraiche together at a low temperature with continuous mixing. Add the rum, continue mixing for a few minutes and then let the mixture cool.
Meanwhile, use a hand mixer for the egg whites and mix until you get a little foam. Begin mixing the sugar slowly with the egg whites. Fold 2 tbsp of the cool chocolate mixture to the egg whites. Cream to create a base mixture. Then combine the remaining mixtures by folding with a spatula creating a light airy mousse.
Leave the mouse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. However, it’s best left overnight.
Have a sweet Memorial Day weekend!
