Ingredients
- 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 cup lowfat milk
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
- 12 raspberries
- 1/4 oz. chocolate shavings
Directions
- Step 1Place 4 ounces of chocolate in a large, heatproof bowl. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk the cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar. While whisking, drizzle in the milk. Warm the milk mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer, whisking frequently. Simmer for 1 minute before whisking in the vanilla. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate until the chocolate is covered. Let stand for 3 minutes or until the chocolate melts.
- Step 2Meanwhile, in a large bowl with the mixer on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites and salt for 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and beat on high until stiff peaks form.
- Step 3With a rubber spatula, stir the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add one-fourth of the beaten whites to the chocolate, stirring to incorporate. Gently fold in the remaining whites.
- Step 4Divide the mousse into 4 glasses. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day. To serve, garnish the mousse with 3 raspberries and chocolate shavings.
