i have some problem with chocolate mousse?

Rose k Asked: i have some problem with chocolate mousse?

Yesterday i made a chocolate mousse for me and my boyfriend, and we really liked it. the taste was incredible and rich. However, the texture was not really the same as the one you buy. it's not fluffy and lacked somewhat moisture.it was denser and a bit drier. these are the ingredients that i used:

3.5 oz dark chocolate bar
1 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water, divided (2 tbsp for chocolate, 2 tbsp for egg mixture)
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
very tiny pinch of salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream (i used the regular whipping cream)

what do I need to add to make this recipe fluffier and lighter? would adding more butter and whipping cream solve the problem? and what's the difference between whipping cream and egg whites in making chocolate mousse.

please don't give me links or new recipes with new ingredients. I need to know how to adjust THIS recipe.

thank you.

Chocolate Cake- No Flour, No Sugar

This chocolate cake has no grain whatsoever in it, or sugar for that matter. It has black beans (I promise it doesn’t taste like beans at all!), and xylitol and stevia for the sweetener. Recipe: Ingredients: 1-15 ounce can black beans 5 large eggs or 6 medium eggs 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 6 tablespoons unsalted organic butter OR extra virgin coconut oil 1/2 cup xylitol, and 2 tsp. stevia (or stevia to taste- brand potency really varies.) 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon water Preparation: Oven: 325F. Spray a 9″ cake pan with nonstick spray. Drain and rinse beans in a strainer or colander. Shake off excess water. Place beans, 3 of the eggs and vanilla. Blend on high until beans are completely liquefied. No lumps! Whisk together cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Beat butter with xylitol and stevia until light and fluffy. Add remaining two eggs, beating for a minute after each addition. Pour bean batter into egg mixture and mix. Finally, stir in cocoa powder and water (if using), and beat the batter on high for one minute, until smooth. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done with the top is rounded and firm to the touch.

nellesurfsup Answered:
I don't really go to amusement parks or resorts but if my sons come home to visit we do make S'Mores and have them around the campfire just as we did when they were home and younger. I also like ice cream sandwiches occasionally in the summer, and make fresh popcorn at home. I throw a little Parmesan cheese on it sometimes. Or, I've made maple popcorn from fresh maple syrup.I am always open to some good chocolate.And if my sons come home I'll buy some licorice for them, but I never buy red licorice as I don't like red dyes.

is raw cookie dough dangerous?

jackfmlover1331 Asked: is raw cookie dough dangerous?

Nestle chocolate chip cookie dough?

Answers:

vladimir Answered:
NOPE! A LOT of people eat raw cookie dough, totally harmless..



Leonardo DaVinci Answered:
Raw cookie dough is dangerous because you could catch salmonella poisoning because of the raw eggs.



Julia Answered:
lol no, not unless you eat too much, the raw eggs probably aren't too good for you but a little nibble here and there wont hurt you



Trish Thomas Answered:
only if you eat it, you can get salmonella



Wendy Answered:
raw eggs used to be potentially dangerous but now most all eggs are pasturized so all the bacteria that is harmful to us, is killed. so go ahead! eat that cookie dough! yum!



Kaitlyn S Answered:
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE that stuff!!!!! My parents tell me not to eat to much, but I still did. (raw) I never got sick, but just be careful not to eat too much. (and on the same day)



califgirlinva Answered:
Well I have been eating it since I was a kid…But some people might not be able to tolerate it…

It does have raw eggs…Everyone should use caution………….



Soon2BeMommy Answered:
think of it this way, if it was dangerous why is it in ice cream



pennybarr Answered:
Nestles ready made chocolate cookie dough should be fine to eat raw.Certain home made raw cookie dough that contain eggs as one of the ingredients could be dangerous to eat because the eggs could contain salmonella.



Anna Hoskins Answered:
The label advises you not to eat the cookie dough raw. It has raw eggs in it and with raw eggs you run the risk of contacting salmonella. As a kid I ate it often and never got sick. Eat at your own risk.



musicimprovedme Answered:
They say it is dangerous because of the raw eggs but all I can say is…I have eaten cookie dough my entire life and never once gotten sick from it.

The thing about eggs is that they are not all contaminated with salmonella which is the bacteria that make you sick. Yes it is a gamble and there may be no way to tell. But if you are dealing with fresh properly stored eggs, the chances are very very low that you will get sick from them. So eating foods with raw egg, including cookie dough is a calculated risk and honestly, not all that big of a deal. I am a lot more careful dealing with raw meat.

http://www.incredibleegg.org/egg-facts/e

If you really love cookie dough, and want it completely safe, just mix yourself some without the egg. It won't make good cookies but it will be perfect cookie dough to eat or add to homemade ice cream, or whatever. You can also omit the baking soda.
