Chocolate Mousse Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    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.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture

    Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Whip the Cream

    In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three parts until no streaks remain.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mousse

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, top the mousse with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
