    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

    In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt together until pale and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until well combined. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mousse

    Divide the mousse mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once set, serve the chocolate mousse chilled, optionally topped with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
