Parmigiano Reggiano 40 Months, Chocolate, Blueberry
Chocolate Mousse
Beat the eggs, egg yolk and liqueur in a whisking kettle over a hot water bath. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 min. Then squeeze well and add to the whipped mixture. Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over au bain-marie and gradually add to the whipped mixture. Finally, fold in the Parmigiano Reggiano. Leave the mixture to cool slightly and then fold in the semisolid whipped cream. Fill the mousse into half-round moulds and freeze for 4 hours, preferably blas freezing. When the mousse is frozen through, turn it out of the moulds by running them briefly under hot water. Now put two hemispheres together to form a ball and freeze again.
