Chocolate mousse with couscous
The chocolate mousse is a soft and creamy dessert, a classic favorite among chocolate lovers. Here is our version with couscous. The recipe is by our Anna Attanasio, food blogger at Giallo Zafferano.
Ingredients:
- 200 g of fresh cream (or plant-based)
- 200 g of dark chocolate
- 30 g of granulated sugar
- 100 g of hot milk
- 100 g of Martino whole grain rice couscous
Preparation:
Pour the rice couscous into a bowl, add the hot milk, stir, cover, and let it rehydrate for 10 minutes. After the resting time, fluff it with a fork.
Chop the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a bain-marie or microwave, then let it cool slightly.
Lightly whip the cream until it is semi-whipped, not stiff peaks, then add the melted chocolate and continue whipping with the beaters until it is incorporated into the cream.
Also add the fluffed couscous, reserving two tablespoons, and mix to incorporate it into the mousse. Pour 1 tablespoon of couscous at the bottom of each glass and fill with the mousse using a spoon or a piping bag.
Serve immediately or store the mousse in the refrigerator; it can be kept for up to 3 days. In the refrigerator, the mousse tends to harden due to the chocolate, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before consuming.
