I am not sure why people are afraid of chocolate mousse exactly. It is the best dessert to please the chocolate lovers amongst us and is pretty quick in that you can make it and be eating it pretty well within the hour. SO...I have tried to de-mystify it here. I have seen some CRAZY complicated Thermomix mousse recipes, this is not one of them. I do recommend you melting the chocolate in the microwave, if this worries you, just use a bain marie or an Induction cooktop as you would any other time you melt chocolate. Using the Thermomix bowl is not a terrible idea, but it is a small amount of chocolate and you do need to be powering on with other processes.
Of course I totally recommend the best chocolate with Callebaut. I seriously don't think you will get the same results with anything less than couverture, so you have been warned!
Let me know what you think...I love a good hashtag or three!! (Or comment below!)
