Cooking Instructions
1.
Pour the Guinness® Stout Beer (1 cup) into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it reduce by about half, which should take approximately 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2.
To melt the chocolate, in a heatproof bowl, place the chopped 70% Dark Chocolate (1 1/3 cups). Over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, melt the chocolate until smooth and completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the Heavy Cream (1 cup) with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Set aside.
4.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks (3), Sugar (4 Tbsp), Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp) and Salt (1 pinch). Gradually add the reduced Guinness stout, whisking constantly until smooth and well-combined.
5.
Slowly fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully incorporated. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream, a little at a time, until the mousse is light and airy.
6.
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to firm up and develop its rich, creamy texture.
7.
Before serving, garnish with Whipped Cream (to taste) and Chocolate Shavings (to taste), if desired.
Author's Notes
For a smoother mousse, make sure both the Guinness reduction and melted chocolate are at room temperature before mixing.
You can adjust the sweetness of the mousse by using a sweeter or more bitter dark chocolate, depending on your preference.
