Frozen Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

• 1 quart heavy cream
• 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon boiling water
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Method

1. 1 Line a three-quart mold with fine ice and coarse salt. Pack the surrounding space with a mixture of 2 quarts of salt and enough ice to fill the void.
2. 2 Whip 1 quart of heavy cream until stiff, then drain it through a sieve. Whip the drained cream again until stiff.
3. 3 Melt chocolate, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon boiling water in a pan over heat until smooth and glossy. Stir in 3 tablespoons of cream.
4. 4 Fold powdered sugar into the whipped cream. Gently stir in the chocolate mixture until well combined.
5. 5 Wipe the chilled mold, fill with the mousse, cover, and place ice on top. Cover the pail with a wet cloth and freeze for 3-4 hours.
6. 6 Remove the mold from the ice, dip briefly in cold water, wipe dry, and invert onto a serving dish.
