40 5 45

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • CRANBERRY SAUCE:
  • 1/3 cup cranberry juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 cup jellied cranberry sauce

Directions

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg yolk, 1/4 cup cream and corn syrup. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160°, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; stir into chocolate mixture. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until cooled and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Line a 1-qt. bowl with plastic wrap; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon into prepared bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Place the sauce ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • Just before serving, invert mousse onto a platter; remove plastic wrap. Cut into wedges; serve with cranberry sauce. Yield: 10 servings (about 1 cup sauce).
