1
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2
Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
3
Combine Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined. Then, fold in the whipped egg whites and peppermint extract until no white streaks remain.

4
Layer the Mousse
In serving glasses or bowls, spoon a layer of the chocolate mint mousse. Use a piping bag or spoon to create layers, alternating with additional mousse until the glasses are filled.
5
Garnish
Top each parfait with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or curls for an elegant finish.
6
Chill
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 2 hours to set before serving. Enjoy your Chocolate Mint Mousse Parfaits chilled!
