1
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
3
Separate the Eggs
Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
4
Combine Yolks and Sugar
Add the granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until pale and creamy. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and add the Amaretto.
5
Whip the Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions.
6
Fold in the Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture until fully incorporated.
7
Chill
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
