Ok, so you all know the story behind this mousse :-[ - says I blushing.
Having never made Chocolate Mousse or any type of mousse before I found this one really easy. Having said that, I couldnt help but tweak the recipe a bit along the way... :-))
TWEAKS:
The main tweak that I made was to add about 1/2 teaspoon of Cream of Tartare to the egg whites when whipping them as I'd read recently somewhere on the forum that it helps to keep the volume. I haven't had great success with egg whites in the Thermomix with egg whites before so thought anything was worth a go. The volume of the egg whites was beautiful and held really well in the mousse.
I also added about a tablespoon of Kahlua to the chocolate mixture before folding in the egg whites, and personally I think a bit more would have brought the flavour through a little more.
I had planned on having a nice picture for you served up in a lovely teacup with fresh berries drizzled over the top, but when served it wasn't really the right time to stop for a photo oppertunity. So next time I will.
NEXT TIME:
Next time I'll still use the cream of tartare in the egg whites and could probably back off on the dark chocolate a bit as it was very rich. If serving it that same day even some berries folded through might be nice ???
RATING
5 stars for me. For a first timer I was prety impressed ;D

Perhaps the menu for your next date could be our next forum challenge ILB ;).
-
Lol. It would be a bit of a challenge, as there would have to be a few things ud need to keep in mind in the menu:
Low salt
limited pork ( bacon etc in the dish ok)
no "fishy" fish
no seafood (crab, prawns etc)
hmmm think that covers the avoid category.... :-)) :-))
He's a big duck fan, so extra points for a nice duck dish... ;) :P
LOL still interested ???
-
ILB, pork and seafood are my favourite foods :-)) :-)) Good think he is not dating me :D :D :D ;D

He has found the right woman to feed him lamb then - lucky man :D :D

Could be the first Forum-inspired wedding ;) ;D - there's lots of recipes that fit the bill, just need to sort out which are the most seductive.
-
JD, I would love to come and help you. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm an old married woman Chookie, I think you mean ILB here ;D ;D

I think Chookie was offering to help you at ILB's house (just to be a fly on the wall and not in the ointment) when Mr Hopefully Right is there for dinner ;) ;) ;) I might have to come too. ;D ;D ;D

Think we're just getting a little eager here and jumping the gun a little too quickly! I know it's out of good intentions :-* :-* :-* but a little rushed I'd say.... :-))
You guys make me laugh! ;) :D :D :D :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Poor guy, I can just picture the inspection! You'd have the meals all prepped and lined up testing his TMX skills before you'd give him you're approval :-)) ;) :D :D :D - which I'd be right there with you on the judging panel :D :D
-
ILB, we are awwwwwwwwwwwful, sorry. I will butt out now. Well just 1 last word.... I had a lovely duck dish last weekend, breast roasted in oven presented on a bed of small beetroot mixed with orange segments. Some sort of sauce just yummy. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
oh don't worry Chookie. I can take the jibes ;)
Honestly, I'm laughing! ;) ;D
And I am very interested in your duck dish..... :-* :-*
-
Poor ILB - you've taken the heat off Thermomixer for a while and I bet he is enjoying it :D :D
-
:D :D :D
He's thrown in a line and I'm just biting the bait JD ;)
Honestly, I'm having a good ol chuckle here too ;)
