Grandparentsday is a great occasion to revise a classic while experimenting with new flavours. One of the recipes that brings back memories of childhood is the famous chocolate mousse. Every grandmother has their own secret way of making things. She uses a grand cru chocolate, adds a drop of brandy to lift the mousse, gently folds in the egg whites with a rubber spatula without letting them collapse...
Here, Petrossian shares its own chocolate mousse recipe with candied ginger slices to celebrate grandparents and to pay them tribute, an ode to good food.
Add a spoon of egg white to the cream to relax the mousse, then gradually pour in the rest of the egg whites, gently folding it in using a spatula. Be careful not to let the egg whites collapse.
Stop folding when all of the egg white has been incorporated.
Pour the mousse into individual moulds, then place in fridge for at least four hours.
Use a vegetable peeler to sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
