Q&A: How do I make my chocolate mousse VERY LIGHT AND AIRY?
Question by M-Baldwin: How do I make my chocolate mousse VERY LIGHT AND AIRY?
I make chocolate mousse with egg yolks, chocolate, heavy cream and sugar, then folding in whipped egg whites (standard recipe).
But I’ve eaten pre-packaged mousse that is incredibly airy, with bubbles so big you can see them, and a texture that is ‘stiff’, not runny at all.
How can I make this at home?

Answer by kclightman
What do you put egg yolks in it for? Seems to me it would weigh it down.
Here’s what I use, and I get professional-quality mousse:
Mousse:
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chilled heavy cream, divided
2 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
To make the Mousse: Put the 8 ounces of chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of the cream, the brandy, and vanilla to a boil over medium high heat. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate; set it aside for 5 minutes before whisking until smooth. Cool the chocolate mixture to room temperature, whisking occasionally.
(Note: you can also substitute Cool Whip here)
In a large bowl, beat the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream until it holds a soft peak. Sift the sugar over the cream, and continue beating until slightly thicker; take care not to over whip the cream.
Fold a third of the whipped cream into the chocolate to lighten the mixture. Fold in the remaining cream.

Would it be smart to go to college if I want to be the owner of my own chocolate shop/business?
Question by Nicole: Would it be smart to go to college if I want to be the owner of my own chocolate shop/business?
What would I major in?
Best answer:
Answer by justwondering
There are some times when a college education is absolutely necessary – when you plan on climbing the corporate ladder. For a chocolate shop – not so much. You would do well to take bookkeeping (colleges call them accounting classes but you would have a long way to go to be an accountant). You want enough knowledge to keep yourself out of trouble and dishonest employees out of your profits. A Culinary class would not be a bad idea – you would probably learn enough to qualify for any health department certificates you would need to work around food. That depends on your state and local laws, so check on their web sites. Good luck – it is more about business than chocolate and you will find most of your time occupied by that grind instead of actual production which is what you probably love.
