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!
