Ingredients
1. 7 oz Dark Chocolate (Gluten Free) 2. 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 3. 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 4. 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter 5. 1/2 cup Fresh Raspberries 6. 1 cup Whipping Cream 7. 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar 8. 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 9. 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (Gluten Free)
Instructions
In a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate and butter. Set aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mash raspberries using a fork and set aside. To the cooled chocolate, add the whipped cream and mix gently until fully combined. Fold in mashed raspberries. In another bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, and gradually add whipping cream, whisking until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture into a round mold or baking dish, smoothing the top. Gently pour the cream mixture over the chocolate layer, spreading evenly. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely set. To serve, remove from the freezer and let it thaw slightly before slicing with a warm knife.
Chef’s Insight The xanthan gum in the cream mixture creates a stable yet light texture for the mousse layer.
