1
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together vigorously until the mixture is pale and fluffy. This can take about 5 minutes.
3
Combine Egg Mixture with Chocolate
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, gently fold the egg mixture into the chocolate. Be careful not to deflate the eggs too much.
4
Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until it forms soft peaks.
5
Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, being careful to maintain the lightness of the mousse. Do this in batches to ensure even mixing.
6
Chill the Mousse
Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
7
Serve
Once the mousse is set, serve chilled. It can be garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.
