Difficulty

It takes only about 25 minutes to make the chocolate-vodka mousse. After that, the mousse needs to chill in the refrigerator for a while so it can develop its light and creamy texture.

 

  1. Melting Chocolate
    Slowly melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler, then let it cool briefly. It should remain liquid but no longer be hot.
  2. Prepare the egg yolk mixture
    Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is light in color and thick. Then stir in the vodka.
  3. Stir in the chocolate
    Add the slightly cooled, melted chocolate to the egg yolk mixture and gently stir until smooth.
  4. Whisk egg whites and cream together
    Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Beat the cream separately until stiff peaks form.
  5. Finishing the mousse
    First, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, followed by the whipped cream, to keep the mousse light and airy.
  6. Chill
    Spoon the mousse into dessert glasses or a bowl and chill for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
  7. Serving
    Before serving, garnish with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings. Optionally, you can also add a small pinch of chili.

 

Here’s what it tastes like:
A mousse so velvety it melts on your tongue—with the subtle bitterness of dark chocolate and a hint of vodka in the finish.
Elegant, intense, and simply irresistible.

Recipe story

Chocolate-Vodka Mousse – A French Classic with an EXAKT Twist

Chocolate mousse is one of the classics of French dessert cuisine. Its name already gives away what makes it special: “Mousse” refers to the light, airy texture created by whipping the ingredients. Dark chocolate provides the intense flavor and continues to make this French classic one of the most famous chocolate desserts to this day.

 

Our chocolate-vodka mousse puts an EXAKT twist on this classic. Dark chocolate meets EXAKT Vodka, combining a rich chocolate flavor with a subtle, additional depth. The mousse remains creamy and light, but the vodka gives it a slightly more unique character than the classic version.

This vodka dessert is also perfect for making ahead: After about 25 minutes of preparation, the mousse needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours to develop its characteristic consistency. This makes it the perfect way to end a dinner, for a celebration, or for a special evening with friends.

 

To serve, sprinkle on some cocoa powder or fine chocolate shavings. If you want to enhance the contrast even more, add a small pinch of chili.

 

BE DIFFERENT! Be who you are.
