    What seems an eternity ago, when I first bought a Cusinart, in the (late?) >> 70's, there was a small booklet of recipes that included recipes of James
    Beard.

    I recall with lip-smacking delight his recipe for Chocolate Mousse. It had >> a lot of blanched almonds in it. I have never seen this exact recipe
    again. I have looked in many books and on the internet. I wonder if it is >> in anyone's library of recipes.

    thanks,
    Dee

    Some things are better left unsaid,
    which I generally realize right after I've said them.

    Would it be possible to post the chocolate Mousse recipe? In a move my small cookbook was lost. I can still close my eyes and taste that wonderful mousse.

    Thanks,

    Olive Oil Chocolate Mousse
    Heather Carlucci-Rodriguez
    Pastry chef turned Indian take-out queen Heather Carlucci-Rodriguez demonstrated how to make this rich, dairy-free chocolate mousse at her chocolate workshop at the Beard House. The recipe was inspired by her
    good friend, Teresa Barrenechea, author of The Basque Table (2005) and
    The Cuisine of Spain: Exploring Regional Home Cooking (2005) and
    chef/owner of Marichu restaurant in NYC. For the most delicate flavor,
    choose a sweet, subtle olive oil, such as those produced in the Lake
    Garda region of Italy.

    Yield
    8 servings

    Ingredients
    6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
    3 large eggs, separated
    2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
    3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup brewed espresso
    2 tablespoons liqueur, such as blackberry brandy
    Method
    Melt the chocolate over a double broiler and allow it to cool to room temperature.

    Beat the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer on high
    speed until light and lemon yellow in color. Reduce the mixer speed to
    low and add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, as you would for a mayonnaise. Once the olive oil has been incorporated, add the melted
    chocolate, espresso, and liqueur. Mix on low speed until combined.

    In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they form medium peaks.
    Fold the whites thoroughly into the chocolate mixture and refrigerate
    until set, at least 3 hours.
