Instructions for Chocolate Mousse
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Then, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve
Serve chilled, optionally topped with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
