1
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Prepare Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
3
Combine Mixtures
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.
4
Whip Heavy Cream
In a clean bowl, whip 200 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
5
Chill the Mousse
Divide the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

6
Whip Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine 100 ml of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
7
Serve
Once the mousse is set, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
