Low-Point Chocolate Mousse Directions:
-
Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:
- Melt the chocolate: Combine the finely chopped chocolate and a light spray of olive oil in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Egg Yolks: Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually blend in the melted chocolate mixture, stirring constantly. Set aside.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the Stevia, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Whip the Almond Milk: In another bowl, whisk the chilled unsweetened almond milk until it thickens slightly.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped almond milk into the chocolate mixture until combined. Then fold in the beaten egg whites until the mixture is uniform.
-
Prepare the Chocolate Coating (if desired):
- Melt the chocolate and lightly spray olive oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
-
Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes. If using the chocolate coating, drizzle or dip the mousse in the melted chocolate before serving.
