Chocolate Mousse

Method

Instructions

1

Melt the Chocolate

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

2

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Reserve about 100ml for topping.

3

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In another bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until pale and fluffy.

4

Combine Ingredients

Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture gently. Then, fold in the whipped cream until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

5

Chill the Mousse

Pour the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

6

Serve

Before serving, top each mousse with a dollop of reserved whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
