How to Make Red Velvet Chocolate Mousse

When I was dreaming up this recipe, I was picturing this bright red deliciousness on my plate. I love mousse. And I love red velvet. So why not try to combine the two?

When you get the consistency of mousse just right, it is light and basically melts in your mouth. I relish every single bite. Slowly enjoying the sweetness of the cream and the rich undertones of the red velvet chocolate.

This is a treat to savor. Don’t just inhale it. Let your tongue enjoy the creaminess and delicate curves of the mousse.

Shopping List

• Lorann Red Velvet Bakery Emulsion
• Heavy Cream
• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla
• Egg whites
• White sugar

Mousse Tips

Making mousse can be super easy. Here are some tricks and things I learned when I made it.

First, you want to make sure and incorporate as much air as possible. This is what makes it so light and fluffy! So when you whip, try to get your egg whites to form stiff peaks. Don’t whip at too high of a speed – I found that whipping at medium speed worked best.

Next, use room temperature egg whites. This helped them react best to the whipping.

Also, be sure to keep your whipping cream chilled. This will help it all turn out the best.

Finally, make sure you use a high-quality chocolate. I liked the semi-sweet chocolate chips. This is what will impact the flavor of your mousse and the graininess after they melt.

How to Serve Red Velvet Chocolate Mousse

There are a lot of ways to serve my chocolate mousse. Here are some of the most popular ideas:

• On top of cheesecake
• Alone in a small ramekin
• On top of homemade waffles for brunch
• As a dip for fruit
