Cooking Method: No-Bake
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chilling Time: 2 hours
Cuisine Type: French

Ingredients

200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), finely chopped
3 large eggs, separated
50g granulated sugar
300ml heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions

Melt the chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set it over a pot of simmering water without touching the water. Stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside.
Beat the egg yolks: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, half of the sugar, and the vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and pale.
Combine chocolate and egg yolk mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Mixture might resemble delicious history lessons – rich and mysterious.
Beat the egg whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Combine mixtures: Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions. Try to keep the volume!
Fold in the whipped cream: Finally, gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Do not overmix, or the mousse may become dense (sadface).
Chill: Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Suggestions

Sugar-free option: Use stevia or erythritol instead of granulated sugar.
Dairy-free: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
Garnishing: Top with shaved chocolate, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. Maybe a mint leaf or some edible glitter if you’re feeling fancy.
Flavor twist: Add a splash of coffee liqueur or orange zest to the melted chocolate.
Cooking tip: Ensure no water gets into the chocolate when melting, or it may seize up like it’s got stage fright.
