Instructions for Preparing Dark Chocolate Mousse

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip.

  3. 3

    Beat the Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined. Then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Chill the Mousse

    Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

    Serve with Cocoa Nibs

    Before serving, sprinkle cocoa nibs on top for added texture and flavor.
