Mickey Mousse Dome at Chef Mickey's - Contemporary Resort
I just got back from another great trip to Walt Disney World and this trip, I made a stop at Chef Mickey's to try their new brunch offerings. (More on that in a future Foodie Friday post.) However, I got to enjoy one of my favorite desserts at the resort, the Mickey Mousse Domes! These great chocolatey treats are perfect for those with chocoholic tendencies, like myself. So, I had to find the recipe so I could make them at home, and share it with you too!
Ingredients
- 2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 package of gelatin bloomed
- 7 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate not unsweetened, chopped
- Two Chocolate Coins and Oreo Cookies
Instructions
- Heat 3/4 cup cream in a 1-quart heavy saucepan until hot.
- Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined well.
- Add hot cream and gelatin in a slow stream, whisking until combined.
- Transfer mixture to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until it registers 160°F on a thermometer.
- Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in vanilla.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water stirring frequently.
- Whisk custard into chocolate until smooth, then cool.
- Beat remaining 1 1/4 cups cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Whisk one fourth of cream into chocolate custard to lighten, then fold in remaining cream gently but thoroughly.
- Spoon mousse into small cups and let set then add the Oreo cookie.
- Once completely set de-mold and add the two chocolate coins to the top as a garnish.
