Milk Chocolate Mousse Muffins Recipes

MILK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks with electric beaters for about 3 minutes, or until pale yellow and increased in volume. Then add the sugar slowly, while beating.
• Heat 1 cup of the heavy cream in a medium saucepan just until it starts to bubble around the edges. Gradually drizzle it into the egg yolk mixture, whisking briskly as you add it.
• Pour the whole thing back into the pan and cook until the mixture thickens. Bring it just to the brink of boiling, but don't let it boil.
• Take off the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir to melt the chocolate completely. Chill for 2 hours, giving it a stir now and then. You can speed up the chilling process by putting it in the freezer for part of the time.
• Whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups whipping cream until it holds firm peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate until no streaks remain. You want to try to maintain the integrity of the whipped cream as much as possible.
• Spoon the mousse into small jars or cups and chill for at least an hour or two before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

MILK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups.
• Melt the two chocolates together in a stainless steel bowl over a pan of simmering water and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream for 3 to 5 minutes to form stiff peaks. Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator.
• Rinse out the mixer bowl and the whisk attachment and return them to the mixer. Combine the egg yolks and whole egg in the bowl and mix on low until the eggs are frothy. Mix in the agar.
• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a full boil over medium heat. Boil for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 235°F on a candy or digital thermometer. Carefully add just a tiny splash of the hot syrup into the eggs, then turn the mixer on to low speed and beat for 1 minute. Add another small splash and beat for 30 seconds or so, then another, carefully and slowly incorporating all the hot sugar syrup into the eggs. Whip on medium speed for another 3 minutes.
• Take the bowl off the mixer and gradually fold in the chocolate mixture with a big rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Once the mixture is smooth, gently fold in the whipped cream, bourbon, and vanilla. Blend gently until the mousse is smooth with no streaks.
• Using a big pastry bag with a big star tip, pipe the mousse into the baking cups until they look like big ice cream cones. Chill until you are ready to serve or freeze them, then wrap them up to present as a gift.

• Whip the cream with an electric mixer on high for about a minute. Turn the mixer to low while adding the sugar, then turn back to high and whip to stiff peaks.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a pitcher and add the vanilla.
• Next, temper the eggs by adding a little of the melted chocolate. Then pour the eggs back into the bowl of melted chocolate and stir to combine. Fold in three-quarters of the whipped cream (refrigerate the remaining whipped cream for serving). Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Serve the mousse with dollops of whipped cream and garnish with grated chocolate and gummy worms.
