Mousse Preparation
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.
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.
Prepare the Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Fold in Whipped Cream
Finally, gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy.
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Serve
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
