<p>Ah, chocolate mousse. The distinctly decadent dessert with a thick and creamy texture and rich, chocolate flavor. It’s the kind of dessert you probably associate with fancy, fine, French dining, but with Betty by your side, it’s achievable right in your own kitchen!&nbsp;</p><p>The word mousse is a French term meaning “foam” or “froth,” which does a pretty good job getting the point across. It’s a fluffy yet creamy chocolate dessert that, when prepared just right, has a lightly whipped texture that melts in your mouth and adds a touch of class to the end of your meal. Chocolate mousse was first made in France. Surprisingly enough, it was originally invented by the French artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, a famously experimental cook who saw the savory mousses popular at the time, such as foie gras, and had the brilliant idea that they might be a lot tastier with a whole lot of chocolate instead! The ingredients are simple—eggs, cream, sugar and semisweet baking chocolate. But the secret to the best chocolate mousse recipe is in the technique. Lucky you, the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens have made that part easy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The best chocolate mousse recipe has simply egg yolks, sugar, whipping cream, and semisweet baking chocolate. Plus a little patience. It’s important to take your time and add the ingredients gradually to achieve an unforgettably smooth texture.</p><p>In fact, that unique texture can be found in all of our <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/dishes/mousse-recipes

Chocolate Mousse Ingredients

<p>When it comes to preparing Chocolate Mousse, its gourmet reputation can seem intimidating, but our recipe keeps it simple. The complete directions are below, but here’s everything you need to make a dessert your family will love. You’ve got this!</p><h3><strong>Start with the Egg Yolks</strong></h3><p>Separate out the yolks and beat with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture takes on a thick, almost fluffy texture.</p><h3><strong>Heat One Cup of the Cream</strong></h3><p>Once it’s hot, reduce the heat and temper the eggs by gradually adding at least half of the cream to the eggs. If the cream is added too quickly, it could start to cook the eggs. So be patient, and take your time. Once the eggs are tempered, stir them back into the saucepan.</p><h3><strong>Add the Chocolate</strong></h3><p>Now comes the fun part. Once the egg-cream mixture is thickened, stir in the chocolate and let it melt. Refrigerate the result for a few hours to let it set.</p><h3><strong>Whip up Some Cream</strong></h3><p>It’s back to the electric mixer to beat the remainder of the cream into a stiff foam. Here’s how to check if the cream is ready: When you take the whisk out, you’ll notice small peaks form and stand up on their own.</p><h3><strong>Combine and Enjoy</strong></h3><p>This is when the magic happens. Gradually fold in the whipped cream into your rich chocolate mixture, and when you’re done, you’ll have the best of both worlds: A fluffy, creamy dessert with smooth chocolate flavor. Spoon into cups and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve!</p>

How to Make Chocolate Mousse

<p>The ideal way to serve mousse is in individual cups or serving bowls. Not only will you add a flair of fine dining to your kitchen, but the relatively steep sides will give your mousse some verticality. And a simple garnish makes the perfect finishing touch. A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of freshly grated chocolate on top will make each cup a little work of art for every person at your table.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3>

How Should I Serve Chocolate Mousse?

<p>Mousse should be served refrigerated, so the cold can help the mousse set into that signature fluff. If you end up with leftovers, the finished mousse will last for about 3-5 days in the fridge. Cover to prevent drying, and when you’re ready to serve again—or just ready for a snack—you can take it straight from fridge to table.</p><h3><strong>Can You Freeze Chocolate Mousse?</strong></h3><p>Chocolate mousse does very well in the freezer, and once frozen, it will keep for up to 2 months. To bring it back to life, transfer the mousse into the refrigerator and let it thaw for about 2 hours until it’s soft enough to spoon and serve. Allowing it to come back to a cool temperature slowly—instead of heating it up at all—helps the mousse keep its structure, so it’s just as thick and fluffy as the day it was made.</p>

Other Mousse Recipes We Love

<p>Mousse is delicate work. If you stick to the recipe, and work with patience, you’ll get the results you’re after. Here are some common pitfalls and how to avoid them.</p>
<p><b>Overbeating the Eggs</b> Beating the egg yolks blends them together into a smooth consistency and introduces tiny air bubbles that give them their structure. But it’s possible to over-beat, which will make your eggs dry out and result in a grainy mixture. Watch your eggs as you beat them, and when they’re adequately thickened, you’re ready to move on to the next step.</p>
<p><b>Adding a Thickening Agent</b> Adding something like cornstarch and cold milk can be a shortcut to getting the thick, luscious feel of mousse everybody loves, but the result is a mousse that’s not as easy to work with. If the cornstarch breaks down, the mousse could become runny.</p>

What Are Common Mistakes When Making Mousse?

<p>The difference is in how each dessert is thickened. Chocolate mousse uses beaten eggs and whipped cream to form its base structure, and does not need to be cooked. Chocolate pudding uses cornstarch as a thickening agent, and the resulting mixture is cooked, which activates the cornstarch and forms a more dense, wobbly texture. The result is that chocolate mousse has a much more delicate consistency, as opposed to chocolate pudding which is quite dense.</p>

Corned beef, potatoes and carrots are a delicious combo often served up on St. Patrick’s Day. However, this recipe is so good we think you should make it any day of the year. Who wouldn't enjoy tender, spiced beef with steamed root vegetables in a flavorful broth? It's perfect as a cozy dinner in the winter, and corned beef leftovers are perfect for a Rebuen sandwich the next day.  This corned beef and potato recipe is perfectly made in the slow cooker because brisket (the cut from which corned beef is made) needs a low and slow cook time to come out meltingly tender. With just 20 minutes of prep, it's easy to come home to slow-cooker corned beef with potatoes and carrots.

slow cooked corned beef dinner

Since the shape of corned beef can vary, halve or trim it so it easily fits in the slow cooker and is covered with water.  Uncovered portions will cook more slowly and may be dry.

Corned beef is made from a cut of beef called brisket, which is a tough muscular cut that can be delicious when slow cooked, as it is here. To make corned beef, brisket is cured in a spiced brine—spices may include anything from the traditional bay leaf and cloves included here to red pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce. The curing gives corned beef its distinctive pink color and spiced flavor. The “corn” in corned beef refers to the large-grain salt that’s typically used in the brine.
