Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Mousse Dessert Bowls Recipe

Introduction

Indulge in a luxurious Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Mousse served in edible chocolate-hazelnut bowls. This elegant dessert combines creamy mousse, crunchy hazelnuts, and rich chocolate for a memorable treat that’s perfect for special occasions or any time you want to impress.

Ingredients

• Dark chocolate for bowls (smooth, melts well)
• Chopped roasted hazelnuts
• Dark or milk chocolate for mousse (your choice)
• Nutella (optional, 2 spoonfuls)
• Eggs, separated
• Sugar
• Heavy cream, chilled
• Vanilla extract
• Ferrero Rocher chocolates
• Extra chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt the dark chocolate gently over simmering water or in short microwave bursts. Inflate small balloons about the size of a teacup to use as molds. Dip each balloon into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat, then sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the wet chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill until firm. Once set, carefully pop the balloons or remove them to reveal the chocolate bowls.
2. Step 2: Melt chocolate with Nutella (if using) and let it cool slightly. In a clean bowl, whip egg whites with sugar until glossy and stiff peaks form. In another bowl, whip chilled heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Stir egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream, then fold in the egg whites until smooth and fluffy.
3. Step 3: Spoon or pipe the chocolate mousse into the prepared chocolate-hazelnut bowls, leaving a little space at the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the mousse set.
4. Step 4: Before serving, top each bowl with a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Garnish with extra chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.

Tips & Variations

• Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate in the mousse for a balance of richness and creaminess.
• Try adding a splash of hazelnut liqueur to the mousse for an adult twist.
• Replace balloons with silicone molds for easier handling if preferred.

Storage

Store assembled dessert bowls in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for up to 2 days. Reheat is not recommended as the mousse and chocolate bowls are best enjoyed chilled and fresh for optimal texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I make the chocolate bowls ahead of time?

Yes, the chocolate bowls can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

What can I use instead of raw eggs in the mousse?

If you prefer not to use raw eggs, try using pasteurized egg whites or a mousse recipe that uses gelatin or whipped cream only to achieve the airy texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chocolate Bowls

• 200g quality dark chocolate, smooth and meltable
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts
• Small balloons (for molding bowls)

Chocolate Mousse

• 150g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Nutella (optional)
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnishes

• 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates
• Extra chopped roasted hazelnuts
• Chocolate shavings (optional)
• Chocolate sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Create the Edible Chocolate Bowls: Melt dark chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring often to prevent scorching. Inflate small balloons to about teacup size to act as molds. Dip each balloon into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly, and immediately sprinkle generously with chopped hazelnuts. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator until completely firm. Once set, carefully pop the balloons or ease them out to reveal the chocolate-hazelnut bowls.
2. Prepare the Dreamy Chocolate Mousse: Gently melt the chopped chocolate with Nutella (if using) and allow to cool slightly. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whip the egg whites with sugar until glossy, stiff peaks form—this aeration is crucial for the mousse’s light texture. In another bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks appear. Stir the egg yolks into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the whipped cream, followed by the whipped egg whites. Ensure the mousse is smooth, thick, and fluffy by folding carefully to keep volume.
3. Assemble Your Dessert Bowls: Spoon or pipe the prepared chocolate mousse into the chilled chocolate-hazelnut bowls, filling them but leaving space at the top for garnishes. Place the filled bowls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set properly.
4. The Grand Finale—Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, decorate each mousse-filled bowl with a whole Ferrero Rocher chocolate on top. Sprinkle with additional chopped hazelnuts and chocolate shavings for extra texture and an elegant look. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate sauce to enhance richness and presentation. Serve chilled and enjoy the combination of crunchy, creamy, and chocolatey flavors.

Notes

• Use fresh balloons that have not been inflated previously to avoid oil residue which can affect chocolate setting.
• Be patient when whipping egg whites to stiff peaks; rushing this step compromises mousse texture.
• For safety, ensure no yolk contaminates egg whites, as this prevents proper whipping.
• Chocolate bowls can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• You can substitute Nutella with additional hazelnut spread or omit it for a less sweet mousse.
• Ensure mousse is chilled sufficiently for the best texture and flavor integration.
