What is Chocolate Egg Mousse

A mousse of melted milk chocolate, butter and hazelnut spread folded with whipped egg whites, served in glasses.

How to make Chocolate Egg Mousse

Tips from the cook

  • Let the melted chocolate cool a little before mixing in the yolks, so they do not scramble.
  • Use a clean, dry bowl for the whites, as any trace of yolk stops them whipping to stiff peaks.
  • Fold the whites in a little at a time, so the mousse stays airy.
  • The eggs are not cooked, so use very fresh eggs and keep the mousse chilled.

Chocolate Egg Mousse substitutions

Out of something, or cooking around an allergy. Each swap was checked against a source.

Eggs1 option
  • Flax egg or aquafaba (baking only) per egg (flax: 1 tbsp + 3 tbsp water; aquafaba 3 tbsp)

    Not in shakshuka, omelette, Caesar.

Butter2 options
  • Vegan/dairy-free butter block 1:1 by weight

    Soft tub margarine fails in pastry and cheesecake base.

  • Olive oil use about 3/4 as much by volume

    Not for creaming or pastry; base goes oily.

Milk chocolate1 option
  • Dark chocolate (label must show no milk) plus coconut milk powder from a truly dairy-free brand 80 g dark chocolate per 100 g milk chocolate, plus 1 tbsp coconut milk powder

    Page gives this mix with dairy milk powder; most coconut powders contain caseinate (dairy); dark chocolate often has soy lecithin; strong coconut taste.

    Still contains soy.

Chocolate hazelnut spread1 option
  • Homemade chocolate spread: sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, cocoa, refined coconut oil 1:1 as a spread

    Page says nut-free and an alternative to Nutella but makes no dairy or soy claim; check the sunflower butter and cocoa labels.
