Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 3 units large eggs, separated
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and add it to a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
2. Heat a small pot of water to a simmer and place the bowl with chocolate over it, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted completely.
Step 3
3. Add the unsalted butter to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 4
4. In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Step 5
5. In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream and vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks. Do not overwhip; the cream should hold its shape but remain soft.
Step 6
6. Add the egg yolks to the cooled chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Step 7
7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Step 8
8. Next, fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts, using a spatula and making gentle sweeping motions to retain the mousse's light texture.
Step 9
9. Divide the mousse into four serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 10
10. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
