Mousse Ingredients
Method
Mousse Directions
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whip the Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale and thick. Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Chill the Mousse
Once everything is well combined, spoon the mousse into serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
