Ingredients:
- 200g semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 2 tablespoons dulce de leche liqueur (or your choice of liqueur)
- 350g heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
For the Meringue:
- 150g sugar
- 50ml water
- 4 egg whites
Preparation:
- Prepare the meringue by cooking sugar and water in a clean pot over medium heat for 10 minutes to make syrup. Meanwhile, beat egg whites to soft peaks. Ensure the syrup reaches the soft ball stage (119°C or when it forms a thread when dropped from a spoon). Slowly pour the syrup into the egg whites while continuing to beat until the mixture cools down completely and forms a glossy meringue.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate (cooled to room temperature) into the whipped cream. Incorporate the dulce de leche liqueur.
- Carefully fold in half of the meringue using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy. Transfer to a serving dish.
- Use the remaining meringue to create small peaks on top of the mousse. If available, lightly torch the meringue peaks with a kitchen torch for a caramelized finish. Avoid using an oven as it could compromise the mousse’s texture.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
Indulge in this Decadent Dulce de Leche Liqueur Chocolate Mousse, a creamy, silky dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and dulce de leche liqueur for an unforgettable treat. Enjoy!
