Dean cooks easy orange-chocolate mousse and beef stew with a taste of chocolate | WGN-TV

Dean shares his recipes for Easy Orange-Chocolate Mousse and Beef Stew

Recipe Note: “Pasteurized eggs” are included in the recipe. The American Egg Board gave me guidance if you can’t find or do NOT have pasteurized eggs (below.) 

Microwave chocolate in bowl at 50 percent power, stirring occasionally, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Process pasteurized eggs and yolks, sugar, and orange zest in blender until foamy and lightened in color, 30 to 60 seconds. Add cream, Grand Marnier, and chocolate and process until completely combined and slightly thickened, 30 to 60 seconds.

Divide mixture evenly among 6 ramekins or serving glasses (scant 1/2 cup each). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and set, at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. Uncover and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish the mousse with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or orange zest, if desired.

Instructions from American Egg Board if you do NOT have pasteurized eggs:

In a stockpot, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. With a slotted spoon, remove the beef.

Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and heat until hot. Add the onion and sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.

Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, puree tomatoes and their juices.

Return the beef to the pot. Add the tomatoes and the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the carrots. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes.

Add the chocolate and brewed coffee, stirring until well blended. Add the thyme and parsley.
