Kahlua Mocha Mousse

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Alcohol
Chocolate

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 1/2 ounces Bittersweet chocolate — cut in small pieces
1 1/2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate — cut in small pieces
2 tablespoons Coffee — very strong brew
2 tablespoons Kahlua
2 Eggs; room temperature — separated
1/4 cup Sugar
1 pinch Cream of tartar
1/2 cup Heavy cream — well chilled
—–CHOCOLATE LEAVES (GARNISH—–
3 ounces Bittersweet chocolate
24 Decorative leaves — non-poisonous lemon
florists leaves

For the Mousse: In the top of a double boiler, set over barely simmering water,
melt the chocolates with the coffee and the Kahlua, stirring occaisionally. In
a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with 3 tb. of the sugar until
the mixture is thick and pale and stir in the chocolate mixture. In another
bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are frothy, add the
cream of tartar, and beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Beat in the
remaining 1 tb. sugar gradually and beat the whites until they just hold stiff
peaks. Stir 1/4 of the whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the
remaining whites and the whipped cream, gently but thouroughly. Pour the mousse
into a 1 qt. shallow dish and chill, covered, for at least two hours. (This may
be made a day in advance) Before serving, arrange some of the chocolate leaves
on the mousse, and serve the remaining leaves separately. Chocolate leaves: In
the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate.
With a spoon, coat the back (non-shiny) side of each leaf with the chocolate,
being careful not to let the chocolate drip onto the shiny side. Place the
leaves, chocolate side up on a jelly roll pan lined with wax paper, and prop
the edges of the leaves with pieces of foil or paper towel to allow the edges
to curl. Chill the leaves for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened,
and, working quickly, peel off the lemon leaves. (If the chocolate gets too
soft, chill the leaves for 5 minutes more, or until hardened). Keep the leaves
chilled until just before serving. Makes 24 leaves.

———————–DIPPING SAUCE———————–
Soy sauce
Mushroom soaking liquid
Sesame oil

These little open-faced steamed dumplings, a popular
item in dim sum teahouses, are a special treat, for
you seldom see a vegetarian version. With their
flowerlike appearance and savory filling, they are an
attractive luncheon dish. You can use the ready-made
wrappers, sold in refrigerated or frozen sections of
some markets (“shu mai skins”). “Suey gow skins” or
“gyoza wrappers” are too thick and will dry out during
steaming. Wonton wrappers can be substituted, but trim
off the pointed corners. Better yet, prepare your own
wrappers according to the directions below.

DIRECTIONS: =========== To prepare wrappers, combine
flour and hot water. Knead a couple of minutes into a
smooth dough; cover and let rest at least 1 hour.
Place on a lightly floured board, and knead for 2
minutes or so. With palms of your hands, roll it into
a long, cylindrical shape, 7-1/2 inches inches long, 1
inch in diameter. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces;
you will have 15. If your climate is dry, keep the
dough covered. Shape these, cut-side up, into a round
shape. Flatten them with the palm or heel of your hand
on a flour-dusted board. With a pastry roller, small
rolling pin, piece of dowel, or even an empty jar —
all of these should be wielded under the palm of your
hand — roll each into a round wrapper, 3-1/2 inches
in diameter, thicker in the center, thinner toward the
edge. This is easily done by rolling the pastry roller
from the edge of the piece of dough to the center, and
back again, turning the dough counterclockwise a
little with your left hand after each roll. Continue
all the way around several times, also turning the
dough over once or twice, until you have a thin, 3-1/2
inch wrapper.

Prepare Filling A or B by combining the ingredients.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon filling on the center
of each wrapper. Holding the wrapper on your left
fingers, encircle it from below with your right thumb
and index finger, gathering the wrapper up around the
filling. Squeeze gently around the middle to make a
kind of neck; some of the filling should emerge at the
top. The bundle should hold together securely or it
will collapse during steaming. Pat the bottom with
your left hand to make a flat base. If the skin is not
too floppy, you can also turn the edge slightly
outward (like an open flower), pinching it if
necessary to make it secure.

Place a layer of damp cloth in a bamboo steaming
basket or on a flat, perforated race (you can use a
heatproof plate if you have neither of these, but
circulation of steam is somewhat impaired this way).
Arrange the shao mai on it. With the rack well above
the boiling water in a steamer, steam for 10 minutes
(if frozen, do not defrost first). They will stick to
the cloth, but if you wash and reuse the same cloth
each time, they will not stick as much.

Serve while still hot, before the skin hardens — as
is, or with small dipping saucers of soy sauce and
mushroom liquid (from the black mushrooms), mixed in
equal proportions. Add a few drops of sesame oil.

Advance preparation: These can be assembled in
advance, frozen, and steamed just prior to serving.

MMMMM

6-8 oz. dry chunk style TVP® (Lummen Foods “Beef” flavor works well)
1 1/2 c. veg bullion
1 T reduced fat margarine
2 T catsup
1 T brown sugar
1 T worchestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 package fresh mushrooms (sliced)
1 medium onion
3 T flour
1 c. FF sour cream (I think I used just 1/2 c.)

You will also need “no yolks” eggless noodles and poppy seeds.
Reconstitute TVP® according to directions. While it is soaking, saute
mushrooms, onion, and garlic together. Reserve 1/3 c. bullion. Add
remaining ingredients except flour to mushroom/onion mixture. Heat
to boiling and simmer for a minute or two. Add TVP®. Simmer 15-30
minutes. (Until TVP® is consistency you like) Add flour to 1/3 c.
bullion in a shaker container (watch the cap if the broth is hot!)
and shake well. Add to dish to thicken. Turn heat off and fold in
sour cream (you can use less than a cup if you wish). Serve over
noodles and sprinkle with poppy seeds. YUM!!

Variations: Add some cooking sherry for extra flavor!
