Chocolate Amaretto Tofu Mousse With Raspberry Sauce Food

CHOCOLATE AMARETTO MOUSSE

Steps:

• Chop the chocolate into pieces and add to the top of a double boiler which is set over barely simmering water and allow to melt undisturbed.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl beat the egg yolks until they are thick and pale, beat in the Amaretto. Add the melted chocolate in a stream, beating until the mixture is combined well.
• In another bowl beat the egg whites until they just hold soft peaks, beat in ¼ cup of the sugar a little at a time and continue to beat the meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Beat in the vanilla. Stir one-third of the meringue into the chocolate mixture and fold in the remaining meringue.
• In a chilled bowl beat the 2 cups of heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, beat in the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, gently incorporating it completely.
• Spoon the mousse into six wine glasses or dishes, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least four hours.
• Transfer the desserts from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes prior to serving.
• Just before serving, whip the remaining one-half cup of chilled heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, add the tablespoon of sugar and continue beating until it holds stiff peaks. Top each serving of mousse with a dollop of whip cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or sliced toasted almonds.

DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• There's one really good reason to make this - chocolate! It's what makes the world go round, especially for my girls, they'd go mad for this.
• You can make it a few days before then just pimp it up with the accompaniments at the last minute. This is also a good one to do with the kids, as they can get involved in all the prep.
• Place the dark chocolate and a tiny pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl and sit it over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl. Leave to slowly melt, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, separate your eggs so you have the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another. Add the sugar to the bowl of yolks and beat until the sugar has dissolved and its silky and smooth. Whisk the whites with a tiny pinch of salt until they form soft peaks - you should be able to hold the bowl upside down over your head without them falling out! In a third bowl, beat the cream until slightly thick and just whipped.
• Once the chocolate has melted, carefully lift the bowl out of the pan. Add 75ml (3 shots) of amaretto and the cocoa powder to your bowl of yolks and mix well. Tip in the cream and mix again, then fold through the melted chocolate until it's well combined and a gorgeous colour. Finish by tipping in the egg whites, then keep folding, from the outside in in a figure-of-eight until the mix is smooth and evenly coloured. It will look a bit dodgy at first, but trust me it will come together. Spoon or ladle the mousse into a big serving bowl or divide between little glasses or cappuccino cups and pop in the fridge for an hour or two until set.
• Just before you're ready to serve, give the mousse a lovely dusting of cocoa. Pop your dried cherries in a small pan, add a wineglass of amaretto then top with enough water to cover. Put on the heat and bring to the boil, then turn the heat off and leave to stand for a bit. This will bring the cherries back to life. Leaving them in the packet, bash up your sesame snaps in a pestle and mortar. Tip them out, and break up any larger bits that are left so its nutty with a caramelly kick and a bit of a crunch. Serve this in the mortar next to your chocolate mousse with a bowl of those beautiful cherries on the side so everyone can dig in and help themselves. It may look a bit rustic, but honestly, it's the best chocolate mousse I've ever tasted!
