Description
A rich and creamy hazelnut praline mousse.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Rub them in a clean kitchen towel to remove skins. Coarsely chop.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and cook until syrup turns amber.
- Stir in chopped hazelnuts. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool completely. Break into pieces.
- Whip heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Melt chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Fold melted chocolate into whipped cream until just combined.
- Spoon mousse into serving glasses. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Garnish with extra praline pieces if desired.
- For a smoother praline, process toasted hazelnuts and cooled caramel in a food processor until a paste forms.
