Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Melt the Chocolate

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Whip the Cream

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Set aside about 1/3 of the whipped cream for topping later.

3. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt together until pale and slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine. Fold in the whipped cream gently until no streaks remain.

5. Chill the Mousse

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

6. Serve

Before serving, top with the reserved whipped cream. Enjoy your rich and creamy chocolate mousse!
