Preparation Steps
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
Whip Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
Chill
Divide the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with chocolate shavings or fresh berries.
