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 large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
3
Beat the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4
Combine the Mixtures
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Then, fold in the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
5
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
6
Serve
Once set, serve the chocolate mousse chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
