Chocolate Soufflé Mousse Parfait

Servings:

4-6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (225g) heavy cream, whipped
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Make the Chocolate Soufflé Mousse:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter six 6-ounce ramekins and dust with granulated sugar.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the milk to the egg yolk mixture, whisking until smooth.
  5. Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly pouring it into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins and bake for 8-10 minutes or until puffed.

Make the Whipped Cream:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the Parfait:

  1. Spoon a layer of whipped cream into each ramekin.
  2. Cut the cooled chocolate soufflé mousse into small pieces and arrange on top of the whipped cream.
  3. Repeat the layers one more time, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
  4. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Notes:

  • Make sure to temper the egg yolks properly to prevent scrambling.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • You can make the whipped cream ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to assemble the parfait.
