Earl Grey Chocolate Mousse

Earl Grey Chocolate Mousse

The springs creak, the rug's pounded, the metronome sings, and the bike tire is pumped. All to a delicious symphony, one of my very favorite French memories from Caro + Jeunet's masterpiece Delicatessen. I turned it on tonight when musing about this chocolate mousse, because my first chocolate mousse was made after seeing another seminal French movie, albeit a very different one, Jean de Florette.

Chocolate-Dipped Baguettes and Raspberry Jellies

Our main challenge for the August Daring Bakers challenge was to temper chocolate. And a challenge it would be for many people - chocolate tempering in August isn't exactly simple with the soaring heat in many places. That said, I'm happy with the results of my candy making, and I think we'll be nibbling on the fruit jellies for a few more days.

At long last, it’s finally time to spring our big dessert surprise on our Daring (and Darling) Bakers! May is just about time for fresh fruits and ice creams, but before we embrace summertime completely, we wanted to bring you an absolutely over-the-top chocolate dessert – just in time for summer (and any other chocoholic celebrations).

I'm a walker. I try to walk everywhere I can because I see things that I would never catch in a car. I'm routinely following my nose somewhere, perhaps down an alley sniffing for that lingering honeysuckle, or up a block in search of fire and meat. But when I found Claudio Corallo Chocolate last summer, it wasn't my feet or my nose that took me in the door. It was what was missing.
