Chocolate Mousse

For Serving

Method

Prepare Chocolate Mousse

1

Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2

Whisk Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.

3

Beat Egg Whites

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

4

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.

5

Chill the Mousse

Pour the mousse into a cake mold or serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Serve

6

Unmold and Garnish

Once set, carefully unmold the mousse onto a serving plate. Garnish with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, and mint leaves before serving.
