Chocolate Mousse Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, place the dark chocolate. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler method or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whip the Cream
In a separate mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Combine Egg Yolks and Sugar
In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until it becomes pale and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Mix Chocolate with Egg Yolks
Slowly fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Combine Egg Whites with Chocolate Mixture
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain. Ensure you maintain the lightness of the mixture.
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve
Once set, remove from the refrigerator. You can garnish with extra whipped cream or chocolate shavings before serving.
