1
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the Belgian dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the whole cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
3
Prepare Egg Mixture
In another bowl, whisk the whole eggs with raw sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
4
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully incorporated. Then, carefully fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
5
Chill
Pour the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
6
Serve
Once set, serve the dark chocolate mousse chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
