Frozen Chocolate Mousse

Frozen Chocolate Mousse

Serves 2

• 1 egg yolk

• 1 whole egg

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

• ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips

• ¼ cup heavy cream

• fresh raspberries

• flaky salt, to serve

1. Fill a 4-quart saucepan with enough water to come about 2 inches up the side. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

2. Whisk together the egg yolk, whole egg, vanilla extract, and turbinado sugar in a medium metal bowl.

3. Set the bowl over the saucepan (make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the simmering water), and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, whisking continuously, until the mixture has thickened and looks like custard.

4. Remove from the heat and fold in the chocolate chips, letting the heat from the custard melt the chocolate. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

5. While the chocolate mixture cools, whip the heavy cream. When the chocolate mixture has cooled to room temperature, gently fold in the whipped cream.

6. Divide the mixture between two 6-ounce ramekins, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours and up to 4 days.

7. Serve with fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of sea salt.
