However, I feel remorse for forcing everyone around me to settle for a fromage blanc with each dessert...

To get around the problem, and treat myself from time to time, I revisited the chocolate mousse recipe, keeping only the essential ingredients:eggs and chocolate!

Ingredients for 6 people

- 4 eggs

- 300g dark or milk chocolate

Preparation

1. I melt the chocolate in a saucepan with a little water.

2. During this time, I separate the whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites.

3. When they are very firm, I add the equivalent of two tablespoons of cold water (this allows the whites to swell a little more, and therefore gain in consistency) and I continue to beat.

4. Once the chocolate has melted, I add the egg yolks, stirring very hard so that they are not cooked by the hot chocolate, then the egg whites, delicately beaten.

Result

There you go, my mousse is ready! I usually pour it into individual ramekins so everyone gets their share.

A reduced cost

- 4 eggs:€1

- 300 g of dark chocolate:€3.50 per kilo, i.e. €1.05

Either a chocolate cream costing me €0.34 per person or €2.05 for 6 people.
