1
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a heatproof bowl 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 heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside about 100ml for topping.
3
Beat the Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4
Combine Ingredients
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Then fold in the egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
5
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
6
Serve
Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
