    CHOCOLATE MOUSSE lactose free

    CHOCOLATE MOUSSE lactose free
    Yesterday I prepared a dessert as simple as tasty: a chocolate mousse with fresh strawberries. This version is also suitable for those who have a problem with lactose! The flavor of the orange and the taste of strawberries combine greatly with the cocoa cream. If you execute the steps correctly, your mousse will be extremely fluffy and tasty, like a cloud of chocolate!

    chocolate-mousse

    • 4 oz (110 gr) cocoa powder
    • 3 eggs (best if pasteurized)
    • 5 tbsp (70 gr) caster sugar
    • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
    • ½ navel orange
    • 4 fresh strawberries
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 tsp rum extract (optional)

    chocolate mousse

    FIRST STEPS

    To prepare this simple chocolate mousse, heat a little pot full of water. Pour the cocoa powder into a bowl; When the water boils, combine the amount of water of about half a cup with the cocoa powder, stirring with a spoon, until obtain a thick chocolate cream.

    WHITES & YOLKS

    While the chocolate cream is cooling, grate the rind of half an orange and mash it into a mortar. Divide the yolks from the whites and put them in separate bowls. I strongly recommend you to use pasteurized eggs, to avoid any problem with raw eggs. First, beat the egg whites until stiff, it will take around 10 minutes. To mount the egg whites perfectly, there must be no traces of grease and moisture, so be careful not to break the yolks and use tools perfectly dry. Now, pour half the sugar over the egg yolks and beat everything very well, pouring the other part of the sugar while beating.
