Chocolate Mousse Cups Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the Chocolate

   In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Whip the Cream

   In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

   In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate and Grand Marnier until well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.

5. 5

   Chill the Mousse

   Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

6. 6

   Serve

   Top with additional whipped cream before serving, if desired.
