Ingredients
Instructions
-
Beat 1/2 cup cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form; cover and chill.
-
Combine egg yolks, espresso, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large metal bowl. Set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water). Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is lighter in color and almost doubled in volume and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 160 °F, about 1 minute.
-
Remove bowl from pan. Add chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth. Let stand, whisking occasionally, until room temperature.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in another medium bowl on medium speed until foamy. With mixer running, gradually beat in remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Increase speed to high and beat until firm peaks form.
-
Fold egg whites into chocolate in 2 additions; fold whipped cream into mixture just to blend.
-
Divide mousse among six teacups or 4-ounce ramekins. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Mousse can be made 1 day ahead; cover and keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
-
Before serving, whisk remaining 1/4 cup cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form; dollop over mousse.
Why this Classic Chocolate Mousse works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Classic Chocolate Mousse works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
