Chocolate mousse with 6 ingredients is something that you need to make for your Valentine. Believe it or not I drizzle olive oil on top and the taste is like a party in my mouth.
For this recipe quality is key.
Using a good quality chocolate is imperative as well as a good extra virgin olive oil. I used Perugina dark chocolate for this and the Olive Oil from my home.
Ingredients
(Serves 4)
200 g Heavy Cream
½ Orange, zested
1 Vanilla Bean, sliced down the middle (Optional)
200 G High Quality Dark Chocolate
Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Drizzling
Sea Salt for sprinkling
Topping of choice, I used chopped Pistachios and sliced Strawberries
Method
Pour heavy cream into a small pot on a low flame. Add in the orange zest and the vanilla bean.
Bring to a slight simmer. In a separate bowl add in your chocolate.
Pour the warm, heavy cream over the chocolate and whisk until all the ingredients are combined really well. Pour into a glass container (I use a 4x6 container that is 2 inches deep) and refrigerate for an hour.
Take a spoon that you have soaked in warm water and gently make a scoop of the chocolate. Put it on a plate and drizzle with olive oil and sea salt. I also like to serve this with some sliced strawberries for a hint of freshness, and for some texture, some chopped pistachios.
NOTE….Store in the refrigerator. Before serving, bring to room temperature.
