Course: Dessert
Servings: 4

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl and mixer
  • 1 candy thermometer
  • 1 saucepan
  • 2-4 parfait glasses
  • kitchen torch

Ingredients

French Chocolate Mousse

Marshmallow Fluff

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp toasted marshmallow extract can substitute with vanilla
  • 3/4 cup corn syrup
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Parfaits

  • 2 cups Gluten Free graham crackers, crushed

Instructions

French Chocolate Mousse

  • Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
  • Add the egg whites to a mixing bowl and beat them until they form stiff peaks and hold their shape.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Create a double boiler. Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place a glass bowl over the top of it, making sure the water never touches the bottom of the bowl.
  • Add your chocolate and stir until melted.
  • While the chocolate is hot quickly whisk in the yolk mixture until it is fully incorporated. You want to work fast to prevent the chocolate from seizing up.
  • Remove the bowl from the double boiler. Add one spoonful of the stiff egg whites into the chocolate mixture and fold it in to loosen up the chocolate mixture.
  • Using a loop motion, fold in the remaining egg whites.
  • Because there is no cream in this mousse, you will want to leave it at room temperature. The chocolate will harden up in the refrigerator.

Marshmallow Fluff

  • Add the water, sugar, corn syrup, and extract to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
  • Allow the mixture to simmer until it reaches 240 degrees. You will want to use a candy thermometer or instant read thermometer for this.
  • Add the egg whites and the cream of tartar to a mixing bowl. Mix on high until it forms stiff peaks, 3-4 minutes.
  • Slowly drizzle in the syrup mixture with the mixer running.
  • Continue to beat the egg whites for another 8 minutes until they are thick and glossy.

Parfaits

  • Add the crushed graham crackers to the bottom of your parfait glasses.
  • Add a layer of the French chocolate mousse.
  • Top the mousse with a layer of marshmallow fluff.
  • Sprinkle more graham crackers over the top.
  • Repeat the layers, ending with the marshmallow fluff.
  • If desired, use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallow fluff.
  • Garnish with extra chocolate.
  • Enjoy!
