Mousse Preparation
- 1
Melt the Chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; it should be smooth and creamy.

Beat Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until well combined. Then, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.

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.

Serve
Once set, serve the chocolate mousse chilled. You can garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.
