I had an urge to make something Mousse related, and since Mousse itself would be not too exciting, what better than a slice?! I used milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, Dairy Milk to be exact. This is not something you'd want to eat alot of! I got the real of approval from my partner, so it mustn't be too shabby huh! I got this recipe off Taste.com.au, and some people were saying they had problems with it not setting right, and the mousse ingredients separating. It set fine for me, and didn't separate. It was pointed out that the ingredients will separate if you don't allow them to cool properly.
Base:
- 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 200g butter, melted
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
- 300g dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 eggs, seperated
- 3/4 cup thickened cream, whipped
- shaved chocolate and cream to serve
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C(fan forced). Line the base of an 18x28cm slice pan with baking paper, allowing an overhang on all sides.
- Combine flour, sugar, butter and cocoa powder in a bowl. Press over the base of prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until firm to touch. Cool completely.
- Place chocolate in a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water, and melt it. Cool.
- Add egg yolks to chocolate. Stir until just combined. Fold in cream. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture. Spoon over the base, and use a spatula to level the top. Refrigerate for 6 hours. Cut into squares and serve.
Cut off the end for a better image of the layers. And for a taste test :)
