Chocolate & chestnut mousse pots

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The pairing of chestnut and chocolate is a classic of winter desserts. This mousse pot is a simplified but equally elegant version of the Mont Blanc dessert: the dense, buttery chestnut cream is lightened by whipped cream, while dark chocolate adds a crisp or melting layer to complete the experience.

Instructions

1 ✓

Melt the dark chocolate over steam and let it cool to lukewarm.

Tip: If too hot, it will melt the cream later.
2 ✓

Mash the chestnut purée with a fork or potato masher and beat until fluffy with the soft butter.

Tip: Butter makes the chestnut creamier, which would be dry on its own.
3 ✓

Whip the cream until stiff with the icing sugar and vanilla sugar.

Tip: You can chill the whisk and bowl beforehand for sure success.
4 ✓

Mix the whipped cream into the chestnut base (to loosen), then drizzle in the melted chocolate and mix to a marbled effect.

Tip: You don't need to mix it completely smooth; streaks of chocolate look nice.
5 ✓

Portion into glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Tip: During cooling, the butter and chocolate set again, giving it a mousse texture.
6 ✓

Serve sprinkled with chocolate shavings.

Tip: A little rum-soaked sour cherry goes well on top too.
