I actually don't know how hot a double boiler takes the chocolate. Besides, you'll have plenty of raw egg whites that can be contaminated as well... so basically, yes Chocolate Mousse contains raw eggs!

If I had to guess, I'd say 4 filets is a little more than 1 T ground paste. Maybe start with 1 T and then add more if desired?

Which is why I have never made my own cesear dressing, but this looks great. Quick question Carolyn... I have anchovy paste in my fridge. Any ideas about how many teaspoons 4 anchovy fillets is?

Now I think it's funny. I used to get so embarrassed when I’d go to lunch with my old boss because whenever he’d order a salad, he’d say very loudly, “I’ll take the CE-SAR!”

When I was pregnant I wanted a Caesar salad so badly, but never ate it becuase of the dressing. Now I have a great recipe :) I love that this recipe doesn’t contain raw eggs!

I cook a lot with my children and the best part of baking is to lick the bowl. So, yes, they are in for raw eggs... Question: do you eat real chocolate mousse?

I love making homemade mayo and I'm all too happy to throw a raw egg yolk into a salad dressing. I'm sure I'll pay the price one day and that will change me for good, so I am bookmarking this recipe for just such a time! I must say, I am not very careful about my raw egg consumption.

It's estimated that 1 in 10-20,000 eggs is contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. If you choose to eat raw eggs they should be very fresh, properly refrigerated, grade AA or A and have a blemish-free intact shell, though these guidelines do not guarentee that raw eggs will be free of bacteria. Elderly, young children, and those who are pregnant or immuno-compromised should avoid all raw and undercooked animal products. I've made a personal decision not to consume raw egg products.
