Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the raspberries have broken down, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and let the raspberry syrup cool to room temperature.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another large bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- In a medium bowl, using the electric mixer, beat the egg yolks, confectioners’ sugar, and salt until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the cooled raspberry syrup and beat until well combined.
- Gradually fold the chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream, followed by the egg whites.
- Divide the raspberry chocolate mousse among 8 serving glasses or jars. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Serve cold, garnished with fresh raspberries, if desired.
