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 cool slightly.
2
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
3
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until combined, then fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
5
Chill
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
6
Serve
Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
