THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
The best chocolate mousse must be perfect. It should taste rich, indulgent and not too sweet, with a texture that is both light-and-airy and silky-and-smooth. After many attempts we nailed it and made a dessert that not only exceeded our standards, it's also quite easy to pull off. Close your eyes and take a bite -- you'll be transported to a 4-star French restaurant.

Steps:
- Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
- Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt and 1 tablespoon water to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has almost doubled in volume, about 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes.
- Put the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and gently stir for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
- Whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate in 3 additions until combined. (The mixture may get very thick.) Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions until it is fully incorporated. It is important that the chocolate mixture is not warm to ensure that it combines smoothly with the whipped cream without seizing up.
- Divide the chocolate mousse among four 4-ounce ramekins and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Whip the remaining 3/4 cup cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Top each chocolate mousse with whipped cream and serve. (For a softer texture, allow the ramekins to sit at room temperature while you whip the cream.)

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, combine almonds, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt; process until almonds are finely ground. Add almond flour and pulse to combine. Add butter and process until evenly moistened.
- Press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Bake, rotating once, until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes. (Check halfway through; if crust is sinking into pan, remove from oven and press back up sides with the back of a measuring cup.) Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Filling: Meanwhile, in a heat-proof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved (mixture should feel warm to the touch and not grainy when rubbed between fingers). Add chocolate; whisk until smooth and melted. Remove bowl from pot and let cool 10 minutes.
- Beat cream until medium-stiff peaks form. Whisk one-third of whipped cream into chocolate mixture until lightened and no streaks remain. Gently but thoroughly fold in remaining whipped cream. Pour mixture into cooled crust, spreading in an even layer with an offset spatula.
- Refrigerate tart until set, at least 2 hours or, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days. When ready to serve, arrange berries in concentric circles atop tart and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it is whipped, and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler on medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water, and half the sugar in a second metal bowl and whisk over the double boiler set over medium heat. (Do not allow any additional water to splash into this bowl.) Continue to whisk and insert a candy thermometer into the mix. When it reaches 145 degrees F, remove from the heat and whip with an electric mixer until it cools. Set aside briefly.
- Wash and dry the beaters for the electric mixer and wipe off the candy thermometer to have them clean for the next step. In the third metal bowl, combine the egg whites with the remaining 1/8 cup sugar and whisk over the double boiler until the candy thermometer reaches 145 degrees F. Then, remove from the heat and beat with the electric mixer until the whites are stiff.
- Fold the egg whites into the egg yolks. Fold the chocolate into the eggs, then fold in the whipped cream. Spoon into martini glasses or serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the toppings and garnish:
- Use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream until whipped. Slice each strawberry up to the stem and spread into a fan. Garnish chilled mousse with whipped cream and strawberries just before serving.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH BERRIES
Although a real mousse, this recipe uses egg yolks instead of whites, and no gelatin. Make this in transparent dessert cups or stemware to "show off" the layers. If you can get candies flowers (hibiscus, rose, etc.) add one to each cup as a garnish just before serving. Preparation time does not include chilling.

- Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Break the chocolate into small pieces directly into the bowl. Microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring between each bout of heat, until the chocolate is about 75% melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the chocolate completely. (Alternatively, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1 inch of barely simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.) Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form (the peaks should be just starting to hold, and will melt back into themselves after a second). Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand straight up when the beaters are lifted from the mixture). Using a large rubber spatula, fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture until uniform. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds medium peaks (when you lift the beaters or whisk out of the bowl, the peaks will slightly droop down, but they won't lose their shape entirely). Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Be sure it is fully incorporated but don't mix any more than necessary. Divide the mousse between 6 individual glasses, cover, and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
- Up to a few hours before serving, whip the cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the sugar and whip to medium peaks. Dollop the whipped cream over the mousse and top with chocolate shavings.
