Mousse Ingredients

Method

Mousse Preparation

1

Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.

2

Whip the Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

3

Prepare the Cream

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

4

Combine the Mixtures

Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolks, then carefully fold in the whipped egg whites in three additions, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.

5

Fold in Whipped Cream

Finally, gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy.

6

Chill the Mousse

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

7

Serve

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
