1
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Whip Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip. Set aside.
3
Beat Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
4
Combine Mixtures
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently, then fold in the beaten egg whites in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
5
Chill
Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
