1
Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate and melt it gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2
Whisk the Eggs
Separate the egg yolks and whites. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
3
Beat the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
4
Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
5
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
6
Serve
Once set, top the mousse with fresh blueberries, a dollop of chantilly cream, and shaved chocolate before serving.
