Raspberry Jam Wattle
Acacia acuminata
Ingredients
200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
3 tablespoons wattleseed, toasted and ground
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup heavy cream
A pinch of salt
Optional: Cocoa powder or extra wattleseed for garnish
Method
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate, stirring gently until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the melted chocolate and ground wattleseed until well combined.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until smooth.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve: Garnish with cocoa powder or extra wattleseed if desired, and enjoy your unique wattleseed chocolate mousse!
