Chocolate mousse without raw egg

[Katymac]

For babies please

All my recipes have raw egg in them

TIA

melt 200g chocolate
whip 200ml double cream
fold cooled chocolate into cream

bingo.

Mm lovely

Is there anyway to get the "mousse" texture??

the whipped cream does it - it's so fluffy and airy that the chocolate doesn't take it down much. Chill hard before serving though.

Use powdered egg white. It is pasturised. You can get it in the baking section of the supermarket.

I'll have a look - do you think stirring the raw yolk in to melted choc & butter makes it pasturised?? Then I could use the fresh egg whites for meringue and the powdered for the choc mousse????

Oh I see. I thought you were talking about the kind of mousse where the egg whites were whipped and then folded into the chocolate mixture. I didn't realise that you were using the yolks too.... Hmm, not sure if the residual heat from melting the choc would be enough to kill any bugs in the yolks or not.

Nope, egg yolks + warm choc/butter does not = pasteurised!

am looking for some other recipes but most seem either eggy or a variation on the cream/choc one I use.

I'll have another look when I get home as I could swear I have a vintage 1970s one where you use whipped evaporated milk rather than cream...

or there's this kind that are set wth gelatine...

(NB IMHO if they're too young for raw egg then they're too young to waste chocolate mousse on )

I want a chocolaty pudding

I can't use Angel Delight - OFSTED say no raw egg for under 3's so I'm stumped

Does it need to be cold and/or spoonable? Chocolate sponge and custard?
Chocolate cornflake crisp?

It's so weird, Ofsted insisting on puddings when surely all their healthy-eating targets etc should point to yoghurt or fruit like they get at home...

Oh they are prob against it - but I feel dessert has a place in a balanced diet.....they get at least 5 a day (Minimum - has been 10!!) and they need to know (imo) that no food is bad just that decisions need to be made as to how much of each food is appropriate IYSWIM

knew I had one:

50g drinking chocolate
1 1/2 level dessetspoons sugar
1 packet (10g) gelatine
3 tablespoons water
1 small tin evaporated milk, chilled

Dissolve the chocolate, sugar and gelatine in the water over low heat and let it cool. Whip the milk and whisk in the mixture a little at a time.
