Mousse Base

Whipped Cream Topping

Method

Preparing the Mousse

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Whip the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and creamy.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, fold it into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.

  4. 4

    Beat Egg Whites

    In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mousse

    Pour the mousse into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Making the Whipped Cream

  1. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the mousse is set, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or berries.
