Milk Chocolate|Patisserie Chocolate<Hotel Chocolat Mousse au Chocolat Selector

There’s nothing quite like a Mousse au Chocolat, and we serve a stunning Mousse Collection in our London and Leeds restaurants. This recipe is our tribute, so you can enjoy this classic dessert without even having to leave the house. 

A favourite of milk and dark chocolate lovers alike, we use 50% milk chocolate in our Mousse au Chocolat Selector to capture all of the deep, nuanced notes of dark chocolate, while tempering these decadent tastes with the sweetness of milk. 

Containing only eggs, sugar and chocolate, the mousse au chocolat – or chocolate mousse – might contain only a few ingredients, but it is notoriously tricky to perfect. The bubbles form within a chocolate mousse from the whipping of egg whites, which trap air bubbles within them. However, this is easier said than done: underwhisk, and you won’t create enough air bubbles, overwhisk, and you risk whipping out all of those bubbles which have already formed.

We wanted to capture the light and airy texture of a chocolate mousse by creating an incredibly smooth filling which balances cocoa and cream beautifully. For an extra layer of decadence, we’ve encased our mousse in thick milk chocolate, and rolled it in a dusting of cocoa powder for a final hit of cocoa flavour. 

If you’re a dessert enthusiast, our Mousse au Chocolat Selector is the perfect treat for you.
