Mousse Preparation
1. Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Separate the Eggs
Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and the yolks in a separate mixing bowl.
3. Whisk Egg Yolks
Add half of the granulated sugar (50g) to the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is pale and creamy. Slowly fold in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Beat Egg Whites
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar (50g) and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
5. Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three batches, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6. Whip Heavy Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
7. Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse mixture into individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Whipped Cream Topping
8. Prepare Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form.
9. Serve
Once the mousse is set, remove it from the refrigerator. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
