Description
Rich Chocolate mousse with the season essential, pumpkin spice. It is like if pumpkin pie and chocolate mousse had a love child… in your mouth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
- 3.5 oz 75% or more dark chocolate
- 2 Tbsp butter or ghee
- 3 eggs separated
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp Swerve sweetener
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- Cinnamon stick (optional)
- Salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Separate eggs, setting yolks aside, and putting whites into a larger mixing bowl.
- Add vanilla, and swerve to the egg whites and whisk or whip.
- Slowly add heavy or whipping cream while whisking until soft peaks form.
- Set aside.
- In a double boiler, slowly melt the dark chocolate with the butter or ghee. I used 70% or higher, every time I made this recipe.
- Once the chocolate is melted, whisk in salt, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until well combined, remove from heat.
- Wait a couple of minutes until slightly cooled, and whisk in the egg yolks one at a time.
- Fold chocolate and pumpkin mixture into the egg whites and whipped cream, gently combining them. Pour into bowls or cups and refrigerate 2-24 hours
- Garnish with some freshly grated cinnamon and or a sprinkle of salt flakes (optional).
Notes
If you get chunks of egg, use an immersion blender or sieve to remove. Your chocolate was a touch too warm and cooked the egg.
