Chocolate Mousse Loaf

"This showstopping loaf would make a tempting centerpiece for the most sumptuous holiday table."
  • 315 ml whipping cream, divided
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 300 g semisweet baking chocolate
  • 75 g butter or margarine
  • 80 ml light corn syrup
  • 20 g confectioners' sugar
  • 3 ml vanilla extract
  • RASPBERRY SAUCE:
    • 190 g frozen raspberries, thawed
    • 40 ml light corn syrup
In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup whipping cream and egg yolks; set aside. In a 3-qt. saucepan, heat chocolate, butter and corn syrup over low heat until chocolate and butter are melted. Remove from the heat. Stir about 1 cup into the egg yolk mixture; return all to the pan. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon or reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the heat; cool. In a mixing bowl, beat remaining cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture until well blended. Pour into a 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 8-10 hours.
For sauce, place raspberries in a blender; cover and puree. Strain and discard seeds. Stir corn syrup into raspberry puree; refrigerate. Unmold mousse onto a serving platter; serve with raspberry sauce.

Notes

This was a much appreciated recipe. It is a bit heavy, wonder I can make it lighter with more foamy cream.
