Custard Base Instructions
- Bring the cream and milk to boil in a small pot. Whisk together eggs and sugar in a separate bowl.
- Off heat, slowly temper the boiling liquid into the eggs to make an anglaise.
- Cook the mixture at 82-84°C (179.6-183.2°F) until it coats the back of a spoon. Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
- Strain anglaise through a fine mesh strainer and use immediately, or cool and reserve in a refrigerator.
- If working with chilled custard, warm to 45-50°C (113-122°F) before adding melted chocolate.
Chocolate Mousse Instructions
- If using white or milk chocolate, bloom and melt gelatin and stir into warm (45-55°C or 113-131°F) custard base.
- See chart above for gelatin ratios. **Make an emulsion with the melted chocolate and the custard.
- Cool the mixture to 30°C (86°F).
- Whip the heavy cream to medium soft peaks.
- Whisk 10% of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the rest with a rubber spatula.
