Mousse:
3 Egg Yolks
1 Whole Egg
1 1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
2 cup Whipped Cream
Pretzel Spoon:
1 Soft Pretzel (stick type)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Butter
Sea Salt
Whisk egg yolks and whole egg until thoroughly combined. Add remaining ingredients except whipped cream and whisk
together.
Pour the mixture into the top of a double boiler and cook stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Allow to cool completely. Gently Fold the whipped cream into the custard mixture.
Pretzel Spoon:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the pretzel diagonally into 1/4 inch slices. Lay the slices on a cooking tray overlapping slightly. Drizzle the slices lightly with oil. Bake until crisp (10-13 minutes). Place the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer, bring the mixture up to the hard crack stage (300 degrees). Drizzle the sugar over the pretzel slices, sprinkle with sea salt and allow to cool.
