Chocolate Mousse and Speculoos Whipped Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 150 grams dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup speculoos spread
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale in color.
3. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Add in the butter and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the mixture into individual serving cups and chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.
5. While the mousse is chilling, prepare the speculoos whipped cream by whisking together the chilled heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the speculoos spread.
6. When ready to serve, top each chocolate mousse cup with a dollop of speculoos whipped cream.
